Help Wanted : Drupal Transition

[Dusen]

I'm looking to transition most of my custom CMS sites into a Drupal framework. I am looking for someone to do so. The task will involve:

- Design porting into Drupal theme.
- Developing CCK structures to handle data appropriately
- Setup of standard pages - search, main landing landing pages, etc.
- Use of blocks to handle movable display data/
- Import of data from current DB dumps.
- SEO tasks - Meta tags, Nodewords, etc.

Important:
No module edits, no core edits, no theme edits. Everything must be done in an extendability oriented structure: new modules to handle hooks, subthemes (if you are using another theme as a starting point), etc.

If you haven't done this before, PLEASE don't reply.

I am someone who has HIGH expectations but am willing to pay appropriately.

First step in our relationship would be to handle a very simple site like Pillsponsors.com and then we can move on. I have dozens of sites, so the potential workload is nearly unlimited.

Include the word 'GFYDRUPAL' in the subject line.

Drupal seems to be Joomla on steroids. Good luck with that.

[plsureking]

yea i can't help u with it but i can advise against it. drupal is a monster.

I was going to do the same thing, but the cost was a bit too much at the time. Drupal would be my choince for starting from scratch

Email sent, because I <3 drupal.

[Hellfire]

we are learning it by ourselves, i can say it's not that easy.
BUT drupal is a great CMS to build any site.

[plsureking]

lol u are crazy if u want to start from scratch in this advanced stage of the industry. there are several cms choices designed for whatever site plan you have rattling around in your head.

if u just want a paysite u can mod the shit out of try my Porn CMS. easy and cheap.

dont build it yourself. a huge waste of time when you should be spending your time marketing. there's no money in site building. in a year - IF YOU FINISH - you'll still have to put in hours and hours to market the "new and improved" site. better to slap it up there and market like crazy. get money flowing in, then improve incrementally.
