Via government funding we are planning soon to be incorporating social network components to our new information portal website that is due for a Feb 2008 launch. Although the site is information based, there will also be a commercial aspect to it as well. We are looking for a developer with EXPERIENCE in understanding 'user propositions' and developing in the sphere of social networks. We do not just require a coder as who ever works with us on this will have to work with our current web development company who I imagine will hold the integration between the PHP based site that they are developing and the social network componants.
We definately DO NOT REQUIRE OFFSHORE developers as we need to hold regular meetings in the Bristol/Cardiff area. Those emails will be deleted without even getting a read. This project is not suitable for that setup.
We need to get things kicked off quite quickly, so if you have demonstrable experience and feel that you can advise and guide our user experience, please get in touch.
