Cost is obviously a significant factor when considering a contractor to perform a number of technical services.

Often times I've found working with a flat rate per project is ideal for both client and contractor, as we can both budget what's reasonable.

Not surprisingly, every job is different and thus must be priced accordingly. I've often found that I'm not the cheapest contractor available (those wild and crazy kids in Vietnam usually have me beat), but consider my 8 years of experience, an A-list client roll, and the diversity of the projects I've consulted on and my fees usually seem quite reasonable.

Like many things, often times you'll get what you pay for when shopping for a contractor, and the cheapest is probably the cheapest for a very good reason.

Full site design and development often take months, while individual assignments can be completed in days or weeks.

Erova Studios LLC is a registered limited liability company in the state of Maryland.

Of course. Contact me to discuss your project and I'll assemble the appropriate references.

Absolutely not. I suggest all recruiters read my actual resume and realize that WebMethods was a client of mine, and I've never used their software. Ever. Needless to say, selling my house and moving to Indy for a few months is unlikely, and no, I do not know anyone else who might be interested.

Depends on the job, depends on what you need. I can build a functional, effective site using such technologies as PHP, MySQL, SQL, ColdFusion, and JavaScript, but I'm not a DBA and have no interest in learning those tools for that trade. That being said, I can take the concepts in your head and put them on a screen, and make them work the way they should...

Often times yes, unless the task is far removed from my specialization. For instance, I managed the outsourced design and production of a magazine cover and layout for the Georgetown Public Policy Review.

Usually yes, depending on your needs and your budget. For simpler sites I may recommend Adobe Contribute; other sites could benefit from an off-the-shelf content management system, and some sites require a customized content management system built spefically for the tasks required.

Of course. I'm familiar with numerous blogging platforms (Wordpress and TextPattern to name a few...) and the limitations of MySpace page design.

This wouldn't be the first time I've been called in to clean up and move forward. Let's talk.

Nope, but I will gladly write a proposal once you tell me your budget and your timeline, and then, following a deposit and contract, we can work together to arrive at a design that will define and promote your organization.

Yes. I have an Apple Macbook Pro with registered, legitimate software licenses. I also use a Canon Digital Rebel DSLR camera for photography and keep a thesaurus and my English degree handy for content writing.

That depends. Unless you already have a website, chances are you'll have to pay for web hosting. Depending on the project, there may be times when you will be responsible for such expenses as stock photography, additional fonts, sound tracks, video clips, etc.

Absolutely...please keep in mind bartering means we base the value of our services in wholesale or at-cost terms, not retail...
