295188 New European Freelance Site

MYOPIC DEVELOPERS FROM PODUNK NEED NOT APPLY. Publication Direct Limited is the owner of the [login to view URL] domain. Their intention is to launch [login to view URL] later this year as the European focused equivalent of sites like Scriptlance, Elance etc. What will differentiate EULance from its competitors? (A) the site will be multi-language, multi-currency, and will respect all major country-specific metrics (B) an emphasis will be placed on providing a freelancer and client supportive, content rich site, country by country, language by language, and (C) language specific forums and user-group participation will be encouraged to develop a supported and informed on-line community. Due to the nature of the project, it is assumed that Drupal, Joomla or one of the other major PHP-based Open Source CMS projects will provide the basic platform, together with available templates, plug-ins and tailored applications, so easing development budgets and timescale. Choice of final platform will be very much influenced by the Developer chosen to implement the project. In the first instance, we would be interested to receive basic proposals based not only on experience, technical ability, timescale and cost, but also identifying empathy with the necessary look and feel. After all, it is going to be a site that has to appeal to and work in many different national arenas, so a myopic Developer from Podunk without the necessary European friendly skill-set and aptitude, no matter how technically outstanding, just will not work.
