Some advice needed.
I need to get a website, a lot of graphic design, an app, some animation work done.
My biggest problems so far has been trying to hire people to do things which I little understanding of. For instance I know little about databases and web development.
I'm finding it hard to hire people, evaluating if they are honest and competent, etc.
Some solutions I have thought about.
1. Hiring a person who will handle all this general hiring for me, etc. Only problem is that I would be very dependent on this person and thus in trouble if they were to leave.
2. I have thought about learning the basics of programming, web development, data bace, etc, so that I can have a general idea of what needs to be done. I like this idea but don't have an idea of how long this will take or how much use it will be.
I have been in business for awhile and find the internet/ web based workers to grossly overstate their capabilities. I have also had consistent problems with honesty.
I have hired both overseas cheap locations and north american providers and find that the story for north american providers not much better.
I have found 1 good graphic designer from Bangladesh but I went through 5 people before i found her.
Some questions
1. Does anyone know of any online course I can take that give me a good general idea behind web development, databases, etc.
2. Has anyone hired out a person to assist them in hiring and overlooking projects?
2. Any contractor recommendations?
Would appreciate insightful responses.
Thanks
