[ale] [Job] Contracting Development Of Website Within A CMS (Drupal / Joomla)

[Andrew Grieser]

Hello everyone,

This might be sort of OT since it isn't directly Linux related, but I'm sure other Ale'rs have had to deal with this. I don't have a whole lot of web experience, but I have been tasked with getting a "professional" website built for an international conference that will be hosted at Georgia Tech.

Obviously, something of this scale is beyond my abilities, so my initial thought was to contract this out to be built within Drupal (or Joomla, Django, etc) so that the website could be easily administered by anyone after it has been created. Is this the normal route to go these days, or are most websites still built from scratch?

That said, where are the best places to find someone who can do this? And what is the going rate for web developers these days?

Ok, last question: On a contract job for building websites, who typically owns the copyright for the website, the developer or the contractor?

Andrew
