Fixie Website Slicing Job - Review
Just had a full wordpress site with some funky design & functionality requirements and a crap load of custom page and post templates (complete with a bunch of new WP3.0 kewliess) all sliced up and glued back together by Fixie.
First off, coding for a coder is never an easy task - we're picky little SOB's. lol. I had some VERY specific guidelines on how I wanted things to work, and how I wanted them done/coded. The psd was also a tricky one to work with due to a bunch of different reasons, and there where variations and alterations required that we didn't have psd's for. It was a big arse job (a bit of a b*tch of a project, really) which I just didn't have the time to do myself. I don't think he realized at first exactly how much was going to be involved in what I was asking, but I think that may be partially my fault as well for not explaining some things well enough prior to the project.
Due to some extenuating circumstances regarding the development process, it's probably better if I don't rate on punctuality (at the end, he said it was one of his biggest jobs, and definitely the longest), but he made good on what he said, made it up to us for the delays, and we couldn't be happier with the end result. He also made himself available on AIM most days, which is something I took full advantage of.
I'll be honest, it wasn't a quick job, but he got it done, and he got it done right, so I respect him for that
I was also able to show him a few nifty tricks I've picked up along the way myself which I'm hoping will be of use to him on future projects, not to mention the fact that he is now well versed on many of the new WP3.0 features (whether he wanted to be or not. lol).
