      • Looking for an experienced Joomla programmer/developer.
        Job Opportunity posted Jan 09 by mmugChicago , tagged Development in Job Board public
        Job Title:
        Looking for an experienced Joomla programmer/developer.

        Contact Email:
        Job Description:

         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
