Freelance Flash Developer (Onsite)
Do you want to create products that help kids learn and teachers teach, reap benefits of your contribution, and maintain balance in your life? Quarasan, a top educational product development company in Chicago has an opportunity for a talented Flash Developer. If you want to be part of innovative product development that makes a real difference in the classroom, then you will thrive at Quarasan!
We are looking for a Flash Developer, preferably in-house, to develop detailed storyboards that convey motion design. The developer will be working in close collaboration with our creative team and content experts to create the product from a visual and a programming standpoint. They will be responsible for executing through code complex designs that reflect the creative and art direction provided within the established technical framework.

Our current site (www.topcats.org <http://www.topcats.org> ) is using an old Joomla template. I have two new templates that I am considering using to update the website. They are compatible with the latest version of Joomla. The current template uses an older version of Joomla. We will need to upgrade the website to the latest Joomla version and then upgrade to one of the new templates. Initially I want the same functionality as the current website and migrate all the current documentation over to the new environment. ‘Phase II’ will include adding additional functionality. We will need to set up a development environment on our hosting site (iPower) to do all the upgrades and then upload it to the production environment once it has been thoroughly tested. Our first priority is the initial upgrades. However, I will be looking for ongoing ‘technical’ support as required and if the Top Cats board approves the additional functionality, further development work down the road. So, I am looking for a reliable and responsive person with whom the Top Cats can have a long term relationship with.
If you are interested, please email me with info on your Joomla background and sample sites if possible, at: wombat@dpdougherty.com Thanks,Dennis
