100918 - Magento Consultant Needed

. Hello, I am looking for someone who can be available for Magento assistance. My Magento 1.41 site is nearly ready for launch, but needs a few tweaks. Magento is such a beast and I want to be able to get help from an expert rather than spending hours searching support forums and wiki's for answers that may or may not be there. It would be much better to be able to gTalk with a true expert, or even talk on the phone. I am hoping to launch by this Monday or Tuesday at the latest. So please don't bid if you are not easily available for the next couple of days. Also, please don't bid if you are not going to be available during hours Americans are typically awake. I am typically awake between 10am and 1am GMT-5. So if you cannot communicate somewhere in there, please don't bid. And I would probably favor someone who speaks fluent English and is available to speak on the phone. And candidates with lots of good Magento related feedback will be preferred. I hope you understand. :) This may be as simple as a 30 minute phone call. Or it could be 3 hours of help. I'm not sure yet. Probably simple stuff (made complicated by magento). Here is an *incomplete list of what i need: - Help changing the order of products on a page. - Back up strategy recommendations - Work-flow guidance - i.e. understanding order fulfillment - How to add a What's new blog - How to create static pages - How to Enhance my Contact page form - How to get my stuff to show up on Google Products - Analytics assistance - Speed Optimization - Paypal Integration - Other stuff as it comes up At this point I just want to be able to talk to someone and get answers. However, that could lead to hiring you to do some of these tasks, if you are interested and if it makes sense to do so. I may have some of this solved before awarding the job, so this list may change. At this point, please post your hourly rate. It may make sense to just do a 1 hour trial project. If, before awarding the project, we determine it makes sense to do more, you can always change your bid, or I could pay the extra later. Regardless, please just bid your price for one hour of Magento Assistance. Thank you. Best Regards, Chris .
