If you are searching for an Expression Engine coder for a freelance programming project, we would like to offer the following tips:PORTFOLIO
A programmer's portfolio represents the quality of their work and the complexity of projects they can handle. Go through an online portfolio thoroughly.
RESPONSIVENESS
A programmer's responsiveness to an initial voice mail or email message is likely indicative of how responsive they will be during your project.
PRICE
Don't shop on price alone. A low price may be tempting but most times it indicates a beginning programmer who may lack experience and discipline. It's not unheard of for low priced projects to end up costing more because you have to hire a second programmer to finish the job.
SCHEDULE
Good programmers have full schedules because word gets around about the quality of the work. Unless you are under tight time constraints, it isn't a bad idea to get in line. Once they start on your project, you will have their full attention.
REFERENCES
A quality programmer will always have references to give at your request. Ask for them.
