[freelance] Seeking freelance javascript guru for ongoing work at Information Management Startup

2008-07-21 03:41:29

Location:
Description:

We’re a small London startup developing a relatively javascript heavy web application, which does some fairly innovative things with “content” and information management. We’re fairly close to launch and have had great feedback from what we’ve done so far, but could do with some help finishing things off.

We have a number of quite self-contained tasks which could be done by someone without having to read the code for the entire system. These are all towards the advanced end of the scale, and involve wide browser compatibility. The first task is some structured rich text editing in web browsers, with a few interesting requirements.

Ideally we’d like to see how we get on with the first task, and continue from there. We’d like to work with someone who really knows their stuff, and knows how to make things work on all those pesky browsers.

Please get in touch with examples of your work, along with indications of how long they took to build, an idea of your rates and a short list of your favourite tools.
