Sorry, thanks for the input.
I'm looking for someone to do some work for me around $40/hr, perhaps a tiny more depending on experience. I have at least 100-200 hours of work available. I wrote a system in PHP that I want converted to OOP. I tend to do most of the database schema design (I know MySQL very well) but it'd be good if the individual can write their own queries, especially scalable queries (which I can help with). I like simple frameworks, like Code Igniter, and it's important that the person write clean code (OOP when appropriate, MVC when appropriate). Procedural code doesn't scare me when used in certain situations. The second project (which is includes in those hour estimates) would involve some PHP coding for my website... pretty simple stuff. The third project (includes in those estimates) would be a new site which I have not written any code for, so front end experience would be a plus.
