[consulting] Drupal themer needed for short gig

[Gordon Heydon]

Hi,

You guys seem to be turning into a bunch of old woman, so the guy hit the reply all instead of reply. I know for myself I hit reply all for 99.9% of all my response, and then he gets bashed for a simple mistake. 

We should be encouraging people not putting them down for small mistakes. I this is not in the sprit of the community that I have been involved in for the last 10 years.

Gordon.

If you don’t get the gig it could be because:  (a) your response was canned and not on point - you have that many leads that you can’t tailor an email to the specific sender?, (b) you were upselling a suite of Drupal services without addressing the specific request, (c) you set forth bold and aggressive payment requirements before you even got the job, or lastly (d) you ignored the request for some information on your rate or availability.

This effort will require updating the current site’s design elements including the fonts (type, color, size), color palette, images, and etc. The existing site layout and modules won’t be changed.
