Hey all!

My website has been down for months because I can't find a reliable Joomla developer. Does anyone have someone who's great with plug-ins and work-arounds - it can't be someone who's done just super-simple sites in Joomla?

Super desperate - thanks for your help!

    Just hit up elance or another freelance site, or if the site has actually been down for months, and thus probably not even indexed any more, move it to a better platform.

    Joomla is a huge pain in the arse, wordpress would 99.9% be likely to do anything joomla can, is way more developer friendly, and has a billion free resourses available and way more experienced developers.

      I work with someone who does intermediate level sites. He charges about $600 for a whole site. If you post more details about what types of issues you need handled, I can speak with him about it.

        Hi,
        It's a party-planning site. We are using JoomSocial and we have two directories - one for vendors and the other for party ideas/products. We'd like to set it up that people could have a member "party planning page" where they can pull in the vendors and party ideas they're thinking of using. So it's a bit complicated.

        And just to clarify - the previous site was just a php site. We're trying to do something with much more functionality for users and that's why the new one is being built in Joomla.

        Thanks for everyone's help - please keep those ideas and referrals coming! Also - we've had disasterous experiences with people hired off odesk and that's why I want personal recommendations from people you've actually worked with.

    Hi,

    Can you post more about your problem?
    I've done lots of websites with Joomla and know my way around it very well. Actually all the websites I make now are based on it.

    Seb.

    Do you use Facebook ? Then you can make money just by inviting people to a Facebook group ! It's called the Instant Income System. How cool is that?

    Lol, too bad...
    A few months ago I had to build a community site (I've made two more since then), I had to choose between JoomSocial and Community Builder... I picked CB. So I have absolutely no experience with JoomSocial.

    How far along with this project are you - are you 100% committed to jooma?

    I know im biased as a wp dev, but my point about their being a ton more resources and experienced wp developers is true.

    I take it you have a detailed project map and wireframe for the site? Because even the best developers will stuggle with vague instructions.

    My partner - who builds websites but doesn't have time to build this one - is pretty sure we can't do what we need to do in WP.
