Ok, so lets say I have a big idea. All I need is some web guys to build it for me. But, I have no money, so im willing to offer company equity. Where do i find web guys to build this. I go to school at a university but have been finding it hard to get in contact and/or find students or anyone who does web design. Where would you start?

First off, your school may not have a web design program. You need to find a speciality tech school in your area or another college or university that has a web program. Once you find the school, post an ad on their job posting board. It can usually be found at the career services office. In most cases you need to tell someone in the office that you want to post the ad. They may even have online posting which is a bonus for you. Some schools won’t let you post unless you are paying the students x amount of money but you can just say that the rate is negotiable.

What is PHP and what is it used for by web developers?

PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic Web pages. PHP is used mainly in server-side application software, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. (From Wikipedia)

Basically, PHP is a programming language to create dynamic web pages and web applications that are run on a server and accessed through your browser.

I’m interested in hiring a PHP web developer for several small projects (under $1,000 paid for each web page project). The typical projects would include a site that has a submission form, a confirmation page, sending the data to the database, and having some kind of web admin page for the admin team to review submissions. What would the typical hourly rate be for an independent PHP developer?

There are many forums out there with people willing to do work for you, i would recommend phpfreaks.com. Other than that you can go to freelancing websites like http://www.peopleperhour.com

I don’t know the US hourly rate cos I’m British but it is negotiable with the freelancer.

Hi, I am a web developer, of course I know some rather helpful plud-ins, but would like to know more. Thank you.

Hi, I should advice you to learn about the following Firefox plug ins.
1. Flash Switcher – it enables you to choose between different versions of flash so you can be sure your code is compatible with all existing versions of Flash.
2. Firebug

Firebug allows you to edit CSS and HTML and any browser side code from within the browser. It’s a great tool to figure out why your web pages are loading slowly, what JavaScript code is slowing things down, and editing pages within the browser environment.

3. Live HTTP Headers

Live HTTP headers plug-in shows you the dialog that happens between the web server and your browser. It helps to figure out why things aren’t redirecting or why search engines aren’t properly indexing your content.

4. FireShot

Have you ever wanted to send screenshots to clients or take an image off a page and use it in a mockup? FireShot lets you take screenshots of entire pages, selected areas, or the current window and export it to an imaging program. It is great for client meetings, quick mockups and portfolio pages.

5. Tamper Data

This plug-in lets you modify GET and POST parameters on any page. Use it to test form processing code, diagnose bugs and test for security issues. Its only issue is that it won’t work in tandem with Google’s web accelerator.

6. Load Time Analyzer

Load Time Analyzer enables you to see how long your web page takes to load for different speeds. It is especially useful for web development specialists whose audience may still be using dialup.

7. MeasureIt

Do you need to create a new graphic but don’t know what size or perhaps do you need to know the exact dimensions of a piece of web page? MeasureIt adds a ruler which lets you measure vertically and horizontally.

8. ColorZilla

It lets you get the RGB colors of any element on a pageusing a drop tool similarly to Photoshop. Great when you need to design new graphics on an existing project.

9. Link Checker

Line Checker is used for checking which links aren’t loading properly or go 404 from any given page.

10. Web Developer

Its features include: view the CSS property or parent class of any element on a page with a simple click, find broken images, view any form field and much more. You can clear cookies, run a DOM editor, and use all other functions from one simple menu. Once you start using it in web development, you will never figure out how you lived without it!

Currently I’m a part time web developer working in Asia, just a bit curious.

There are tons, but depends where you’re at. Biggest area for IT right now is in the Northern Virginia, D.C., Baltimore areas. I make 65,000 in MD and I’m just a little over 2 years out of college.

I wouldnt try in, well, Kansas for example.

California is good too, but their standard of living is much higher than east coast.
