I've got some web design work

[Frederic Bastiat]

...that needs to get done in a few weeks. On what site can I post my project for prospective bidders? I've heard of elance.com and i'm wondering whether there are any other similar sites? Could you please share your experiences.

The project will be for a light traffic database driven site that will use MySQL for the database, and either ColdFusion/PHP/ASP/ (to be decided soon) for the development software.

Thanks :)

1. How about here?

Unemployed people like me could use the work.

[Frederic Bastiat]

2. I understand

But i'm sure I would be breaking some DU rule and I don't wanna do that, besides, how would one bid for the project?

3. Don't know about the rules ...

but you could have people send you a PM or email if they are interested and take it offline.

[Frederic Bastiat]

5. That's fine with me

I'd take it up with the mods before doing so. How about payment? Feedback?

4. I don't know if it's breaking rules or not either

But I have a side business with some friends of mine where we help people and small businesses with their computer needs. PHP/MySQL is one of the things we do.

11. If it's light database work

And you don't have a place to host it, I've had good luck with powweb. They're under 8 or 9 bucks a month, give you 250 MB of memory, one time set up fee for a databae, and they run the holy trinity of mySQL, PHP, and Apache. We've used them for the sites we've done database work on.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way though. Just like 'em.

14. Hosting is not a problem, ColdFusion vs PHP is

I'm currently trying to convince them to go with PHP over ColdFusion.

[TlalocW]

15. Well...

Coldfusion is my regular 9-5 job. :)
