Free Drupal Consultation and Professional Services

Hello Amit

Can you share some examples of sites you developed, and indicate the extent to which you customized the look & feel of the site?

Also, do you regularly update sites and apply security patches?

Thanks,

patrick

dear drupalers,

Hope many of you have benefitted with my consultation and help in scoping your projects, Ascertaining the feasibility and putting realistic timelines. I have a simple request.

I would appreciate, if you can please post a simple "thank-you-amit" comment at the bottom of this thread, if discussions with me have been helpful to you!

Regards,
Amit

I have quite a few projects coming up which need to use Drupal as CMS. I'd like to see your skill in theming Drupal (PSD will be provided), you will be highly favored if you can convert any design to run on Drupal.

Please send me your sample works.

Also, one of my upcoming projects need shopping cart, can you handle it?

I would also be very interested in seeing your sample work...

I am in need of these items:

1) Applying my graphics to an existing theme (with possible theme modifications)
2) Customizing Drupal by setting up all necessary modules to work for my application.
3) Integrating custom programming with Drupal.

I am looking for quick turnaround on this project. I do believe what I need done will be quite easy for an experienced Drupal coder.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi I would also be interested in viewing your portfolio. Also have you done any module creation?

Hi Amit,

I came across this thread and I think it would be great if you could send me some of your portfolio websites, preferrable something that also has a shooping cart.

Thanks,
HC.

hi Amit
i have mailed you my requirements. hope to hear from you soon.
Thnks
Lakshmi

Please let me know if you are still looking for work and maybe i could see some of your recent projects?

hi amit,
i sent you an email about possibly hiring you for my project.
can you please get back to me asap.
thanks

Amit,

It's been 9 days now on a project that you said would take you 1-2 days and I haven't even had any communication from you since you said you would do the project as outlined. You haven't responded to my emails, so I'm leaving a post here just in case you haven't received them for some reason.

I need to hear from you in the next day, otherwise I have to assume that you are backing out of the project in a very unprofessional manner and that I need to hire someone else instead.

Contact me ASAP.

I hired Amit to do some fairly complex module hacking that I didn't have the time to even think about. He did the job professionally and delivered on time and on budget and made sure that I understood not only what needed to be ported to the server but went through all the code with me as well. I look forward to working with him again soon and would be happy to provide more detailed recommendations for him to others.

Thanks Amit

Hi!
could you send me a list of sites you've done in drupal?
thanks a lot.

Hi,

I am interested on your sample works.

I'd be looking to merge fotonotes and acidfree into drupal.. I've come close:

http://www.cvillessc.org/node/428

but need it to look better, and when a user goes to add a note, a checkbox list of drupal users gets displayed. When selected, a email notification is sent to the user that was tagged, alerting them of it (a la facebook). I don't have the JS knowledge to complete this, and am not sure how long it would take someone skilled in it to accomplish.

Thanks!

Hello Amit

Please take a look at this request for proposal - thanks.

patrick

dear drupalers,

hope i am playing my role in supporting innovative ideas and good quality development in drupal...

Just to let you know: As a rule, i always reply to my emails within 24 hours.
If, incase you have sent me an email and have not recieved a reply, most probably my spam filter had blocked your email without my knowledge. Kindly resend your unreplied emails with "DRUPAL" in the subject line. Thanks.

Regards,
Amit

Hello Amit

Sounds like you are doing some great work. I have sent you an email with my modest request attached. Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers

Hi Amit,
I am interested on your sample works.

Thanks,
Marcius

I am building a rather large Drupal site with a large number of contributed modules. We have run into some "expected" performance issues and want help to resolve them asap.

Thereafter we will be looking for ongoing technical support on the project. Going forward we will also be looking to write custom modules that integrate several third party applications into Drupal.

Could you please indicate your suitability and fees for this sort of work.

I have already sent you an email but because of the email issues mentioned here I'm posting this message here too

Can you send me a list of your Drupal sites?
~IndyGrrL

Amit - I am working on a drupal site and need a theme built (have a graphics designer that has done mockups) and integrated with the site. Would you send examples of your work and availability?

Thanks

Hi Amit,

I am working on a new site/business concept and think that Drupal is possibly the best platform for it. Please send me some samples of work you have done, and then I will ask more specific questions.

Thanks much,
Mark

HI Amit,

I am looking to get some projects built in Drupal and would love to see your samples, then if all fits - move on with a project I have on my plate right now.

Regards,

Hi Amit,

I've just post a job request at http://drupal.org/node/190209

Please let me know if you'd be interested. If so send me examples of what you've done.

Thanks

Amit,

Can you please send a list of developed projects and general price range for each project?

thank you,

Hello, i'm interested in getting some work done. I'd like to see some samples and price range please.

Hi there, looks like you've got some great feedback already.... so I'm interested too.

I've got a client whose requirements have grown beyond my drupal capability, so I'm potentially looking to get some contracting work to help me out specifically with:
-module development/extension
-theming from supplied html/PSD template

Can you supply examples of this type of work particularly, and associated price guides? Also, do you supply any documentation with your finished work? (so, for instance, if an issue arises with a module you've developed, I have a chance of debugging it myself if the code is commented!)

thanks,

t.

hi s0crates9, jhouck, manoloka, mariagwyn , DreamTitan and tanoshimi,

I have sent the respective details as mentioned in your post via contact forms. please check mailbox.

PS: Price info for projects is a confidential matter for the original client, who may not be comfortable with me revealing that data.
Please do not put me in an ethical dilemna!

Regards,
Amit
Email: drupalexpertamit@gmail.com

Just wanted to thank you again for all of the help you gave me this afternoon. I appreciate you going out of your way to answer my questions. Once I get a little deeper into the development phase I will be contacting you about doing work for me.

Respectfully yours,

Dave Flask

for your quick solution to my problem today

Hi Amit

Could you send me a list of sites you have done and what your average hourly rate is for module development.

Maybe you should post a link to your portfolio to reduce the number of those types of requests?

Thanks.

Amit, 3 weeks ago we choose to start working with you instead of several other potential long term partners.. and we was very happy since you seemed so reliable and professional. Then you missed deadline, disappeared for several days and finally contacted us promising to deliver within a few days. This was the last we heard from you and almost two weeks has now passed since then :(

Client is very upset and angry with us and our company loose face since we put our trust in you as our Drupal developer.
We have sent you several emails asking for any information about progress but still up until today no reply.

This is not a professionell way of doing business and we hope to heard from you ASAP.

Amit,

Quite a few people here are impressed with your work. I'd like to see a couple of your most complex sites for my friend who is looking for some help rebuilding a site for their non profit. She mentioned Drupal - I had never heard of it - and I can see it is quite versatile.

Maybe you would be willing to help her, or get me started on the Drupal path and I can try to do it for her. I have a fair amount of php experience, but I don't know if I could get up to speed soon enough for them.

Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.

Tom

Hello,
Just want to say I am impressed with your feedback,
Me: I am the director of Darksun Design Studio
I have a client who has asked for something I cannot do.

Do you have time for a project right now?
To the point:

Project:
Using Drupal, which we have already installed on a test server, create a profile site for athletes -
Functions needed:
A registration for two user levels, Admin, and registered athletes

A backend form that allows registered users to fill in data for their own profiles, and registered users will number _ Unlimited users. (right now there are about 100)

The profile pages that the form data will fill in. Users should have the control over color, font color, and font style only. Form will have about 15 - 20 fields.

Admin will have control to approve users to complete the registration process. So, the first "Sign Up" will be only Name, Email, School, and Sport played - then once admin sends approval, the bigger backend form will allow them to creat their profile page which will be viewable by all.

The site will have a main calendar that gives admin ability to enter user's events coming up: It would be more ideal to give users the ability to enter their own events but if this is economically not feasible or expensive, scrap it and go with admin only

The profile pages will have a spot users can upload a video of their sports performance, so recruiters can see them perform. The actual format of the video allowed, and the size, as well as the modality is up to constraints of Drupal and developer, so let us know with this what is best to allow.

All profile pages need to be printable, so recruiters can print information to pass on to higher ups.

This site is impossible to do without a content management system. Drupal looks like the way to go.
I hate to do this to ya, but the deadline for this project is December 4th, 2007. I can push this if need be though - but the sooner the better.
You can call or email me any time. Toll free number below sig.
Gracias, thank you,

Please leave a message with more details and sample works.

Thanks

I am working in corporate office.. we have a developed product, now we need to develop the wesite with sutable options to sell... mean for to create social wesite. so which version of drupal is suitable..how we can do it?

can you please help me out.?

Its amazing what happens when you mention the word "FREE" let the man breathe I don't think he meant for everyone to beat on his door, IMHO based on his good will gesture, and all it might be better to reserve his free service to small non-profits and/or people that just can't afford to hire someone, some may disagree but if you have to means to pay an expert you should avoid taking advantage of someone's kind gestures.

Amit take on only a tiny few requests and don't let people push you beyond your limits, i'd even say those who pay something is higher priority then those who want the free stuff. Those that want free shouldn't expect pro service.

hey amit,

not sure if you got my last email, its been a few days now and i thought i would hear from you so i just wanted to try to touch base with you on here... anyways, please email me if you did not get it and i can send it again if you would like.

Thanks,
-Ryan

Dear Amit,

please contact me.
I need a list of what you've done, what you can do and what you charge.

Thank you so much,

Hi Amit,

your doing great job... I need a list of what you've done, what you can do and what you charge and your personal site/blog etc.. links.

thank you.

I emailed Amit with a feature I needed quickly. He got back to me with a solution in one day. The price was reasonable and his communication was professional. If you need help, send him an email.

Hi Amit,

I would like to get a quote of transferring my site www.posetech.com into drupal. Thank you. Happy New Year.

Hi Amit,

I have a few projects I'm working on, and one of them is somewhat urgent. I would appriciate it if you send me some samples of your work.

And I'll looking forward to speaking with you.

Thanks

Amit is the best developer we have worked with (drupal and otherwise).
We were frustrated with one of our major project, after having hired several developers from the drupal forums. They failed to deliver one after another.. and we were almost in the red.

We emailed Amit and he kindly agreed to clean the mess and get the project back on track. He was very quick and got us ready for launch and delivery within 2 weeks! (where others took more than 4 months to deliver "nothing", and we were sure to lose our client)

The project was done correctly, and the price was very reasonable. Our client was very happy with the final output and the project reached its rightful completion. We are very grateful and highly recommend his services.

Thank you Amit, you are truely the best "drupalexpert"!

-SILSolutions

I sent an email to you asking for some help on a couple of projects and I havent heard anything from you in 4 days, and yes I have been checking the spam filter.

3. update new theme's color scheme with our existing CSS file

Can you send me some samples of your work?

Many thanks,

Thanks,

I posted a shout out...but, it seems you are DA MAN Amit for pro services....

[quote]

I have been servicing a non-profit association of medical professionals for the last couple of years....I think it is time to convert over to Drupal...but, want to pay a pro who has a decent portfolio to guide me through the process. The key issues must be:

Client must be able to upload stock tab-delimited text file (database) from national association and easily upload to site. This is the core database of membership. The output but be customized....I assumed this is called a module.

The other components required:

1)Public/Member Events and News Pages
2)Member forum to interact
3)Member photo gallery with various permissions - maybe this is part of the forum module?
4)Event registration with monies going to PayPal. They have two events a year but that needs to be flexible. Currently I deliver this via www.eventbrite.com
5)About three tiers of permissions-
1)Master Admin which would be me
2) Board of Directors would have some config access
3) MEMBERS-ONLY would have access to the forum.
6) The occasional survey would be nice....

So, if you have experience to this and are located on the west coast....(I am in Las Vegas). Please PM me with your contact info. I wanting to be guided through the process so eventually I can drive the site myself...but, am willing to pay good wages for the service.

I have sent you an email.

I have built my Drupal site about 80% complete, but I need to revamp the theme and improve the functionality of a few modules. I can't handle the theme work myself with my current workload, and design is not my specialty anyway.

I am looking for an ongoing relationship that would include more work in the future if you performed well on the first project.

thanks,

I contacted you about a small project to see if you could deliver. You agreed to the project, price and said you would have it done in 2 days,

That was on January 16, 2008. I waited until 24th of Jan and followed up asking what the deal was, still no response. To this date (3 weeks later) I have not heard a word from you.

I wouldn't recommend Amit, unresponsive and doesn't deliver as promised. Very disappointing.

Amit,

We are attempting to set up and customize a site for a small private school. I have no prior experience with Drupal, but have been pleased with the functionality. There are some things that I just don't understand. Would you be willing to assist? There is a possibility I could pay if we have to do any mudule customization.

Thanks,

Steve Thomas

Hi Amit, here is my project:

Immigrate PoetryVisualized DOT com's Features, Design, Data and Database into Drupal CMS. At the end the site must be 100% integrated and functional as a Drupal CMS site.

The site is based on PHP / HTML with some Java / AJAX / Flash / on a MySQL Database

Video solution is Mencoder for video encoding and FFMPEG thumb creation.

Pleas let me know if you can do this, timeframe and how much you would charge.

Thank you.

Hi Amit

I have a project that I am starting. I have a psd that needs to be made into a drupal template. It also requires ajax tabs, a photo gallery/flipbook (ie: http://www.bet.com/Lifestyle/Style/lifestylestylebeyoncejayzpowercouple.htm) and a tout (ie: http://www.popsci.com/) .

I am also interested in setting up multiple member areas.

A word of warning to those of you looking for a Drupal developer.
I hired Amit Gupta (drupalexpert_amit) back in October 2007 to create a Drupal-based site for me.
We agreed to a price and timeframe for the first phase and he quoted the project to take a little over two weeks.
I was promised superior Drupal skills, best value and excellent communication.

Amit over-promised and under-delivered on his Drupal and web development abilities.
- Simple user roles and management functions took longer to complete than expected

Amit over-promised and under-delivered on best value.
- While Amit's price was the lowest I had received, the value wasn't there since I still have a non-functional site

Amit over-promised and under-delivered on excellent communication.
- Reasons and methods for communication were written into the contract and agreed to. They were completely ignored.
In the first 4 weeks Amit was responsive. Following that it could take 1 to 2 weeks to get any kind of response from him regarding the site.

As it became clear that he was in over his head, Amit asked for advances on payments, more time to complete features and reduced feature functionality and I have had to do the research and legwork to help him figure out how to create certain features.

I'm now 6 months into the development and the site is not complete. In the past 4 months Amit has been out of contact more than in, with a range of excuses revolving around personal and family issues.

As I found out on these forums, the "personal" and "family" issues were lies.
Amit has been working on a new business endeavor called Drupal Value Hosting service (DVH) rather than on the website he contracted and took money to build for me.

I share my unpleasant, unproductive and costly experience with Amit Gupta (drupalexpert_amit and Drupal Value Hosting) in order that others looking for developers on this forum will steer clear and avoid this liar and cheat.

Good luck with your search.

Hi,

I have 5+ years exp in web developement and 3+year in drupal. i had done 60+ drupal sites & themes.

Hope you are here.

hi, i need a workable solution for my e-commerce site (www.prankster101.com/rsto) where the emphasis is on commerce and content and to create a community.

and i just found this:
http://drupal.org/node/99428
and this:
http://drupal.org/node/199279

it talks about the need for using drupal as a cms/e-commerce solution. it also talks about the need for community.

after a little bit of soul searching, and as stated by someone in the threads, here are my options that i was considering:
A. Keep ZenCart
B. Keep ZenCart and add Drupal
C. Start from scatch with Drupal + e-Commerce/UberCart

apparently, there is a zencart/drupal integration module. i am intrigued by this.
what i want are the following:
store: videogames, music, dvd etc but i also want a record label, fashion label
digital downloads
forum/portal/community
authorised users
cms/online magazine/blog
user generated content

i have an icarus line fansite project that i would like to "integrate"/make part of rather than have as a separate site (more details below). but depending on costs etc, i might just do this diy.

i have had some work done on my zencart site and (link above) i don't want all the work on the zencart to be wasted. as this would involve loss of money etc. but i don't know what to do. i love drupal and i hate the admin section of zencart. so i am inclined to go with option B/C. preferably B.
basically, i want a website and an e-commerce site with the added advantage of it being a portal and allowing a community to flourish. stuff like it acting like youtube/myspace where you can add videos etc would also be nice.

let me know what you think. what will be the costs and projected completion time for the site etc? can i do this by myself? i am already going to buy the new book on drupal 6 so that should come in handy.

finally, here are the band faniste details, and this is what the frontman sent me (obviously, the stuff above takes number one priority, but if we can get the above right, then the following should be REALLY easy - i can take care of the content section - but again, the ability to stream videos etc would be nice):)
"these are things i think make a good fan site...take it as you want
for the site:
complete discography...include year released and formats. also singles, comp tracks, anything else.
links to online reviews/interviews. find as much shit as you can and have it all linked. im sure some other fans would be able to help you with this.
photos. flickr/ myspace/ your own
a bio...
recent news and news archive
message board
lyrics/
exclusive music: once you get up and running i can send you some live tracks and other things that would be unavailable anywhere else. something to keep people coming to your site.
the more information you provide the more people will return to the site. if you make a it a definative resorce you will see that people will help you with content just as separate the sounds was built.
how is it all coming along?"

how much will it cost?

open source drupal can do communities really easily. so the site should be able to harness web2.0 and "wikinomics" to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, peer collaboration among users. the aim of the cms is to have features etc and user-submitted and editor-evaluated content with every news article and review having a comment section where registered users can post comments.

i also want authorised "editors" who can post etc.

from what i've read, drupal is better than slashcode/slashdot, and another site which incorporates the same ethics/"business model" as www.punknews.org

if you look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and http://www.play-mag.co.uk/ you see that there are a lot more articles when you go to the site. all the sites i have shown you only show a couple of articles when you go to the screen. by showing a lot more articles, i can catch the interest of more people who will be glancing at the site.

for someone who doesn't have any coding skills, I WANT TO DO AS MUCH OF IT MYSELF AS POSSIBLE. so in most cases, i would just need simple instructions on drupal modules etc. but i would need help on theming etc.

let me know. and please email me at the_az@hotmail.com

thanks

also, would you prefer zencart or drupal/ubercart?

thanks

Hi Amit,

I done 60+ projects in drupal and give quality work in drupal.

i will do any type of work in drupal.

Hello Amit,

Do you know how one can add images to LABELS in a Drupal 5 TABLE so it can look like the table here www.xe.com ?

I am very new to Drupal and crawling my way to learning it.

Will appreciate any input.

Yann

Hii

The company where I work for hired him.
I can tell you about his work.

He doesn't know drupal, he does database queries against all drupal best practices, he does all the logic in the templates.
He uses the page.tpl as the menu, leading to 404 codes in html headers, drupal not aware of things happening.
He adds node directly to the database and not using functions and hooks.
He definitly doesn't know anything about hooks.
For what I can tell from his work, he know something about themes, but nothing about drupal and doesn't follow any of the good practices.

Do not hire him, all people that hire him will tell you the same, here an example:
http://drupal.org/node/257552

Good luck
