SEEKING FREELANCER

I'm a designer, but I can't code. I'm looking for someone who can code a template for a popular CMS. I'll do the design, and you can code. I'll provide more guidance if you contact me, with your skillset and experience. If you don't have much experience, don't worry! Just tell me what you're good at.

Estimated time required: a few weeks Estimated cost: a few hundred dollars

Correlating the estimated time required and estimated cost, you are basically paying $100/week. I assume 5 days / week and 5 hours / day. That's $4/hour. Serious?

I wonder how much he charges for design work? Cause if it's $4/hour I've got some stuff he can do.

I don't live in the West, and I don't make as much money as you do. Is that wrong? There are plenty of people using HN that are not reflections of yourself.

I'm also not assuming that this will be worked on full-time. If it was, I wouldn't expect it to take more than about a week.

I don't think where you live matters. I live in country with a Per Capita 15 times lower than the USA but charge something per hour which is related only to my experience and knowledge.

I'll admit I was trying to be funny with that, but honestly if you are any good at what you do I (and probably others) would be interested in your work, and probably wouldn't care where you live.

In that respect even if you don't live in the west, I'm sure anyone you would want to work with you on a project charges more than $4/hr part time or not, regardless of where they live.
