Hi,
I am currently in the process of creating a new news/publishing site on the Movable Type platform. There are around 20 or so sites with 20,000+ rows of data to be moved/aggregated to ~8 sites (we have a number of location specific sites and are going to aggregate the content from these into 1 single site for each niche).
We have discussed how to do this and came to the conclusion that it would probably be better to hire somebody to do it (I could probably do it, but i'm limited on time and am sure that a specialist would be more efficient). So my questions to you guys are:
1) What kind of skill set should we look for in an applicant?
2) There will be a large amount of input from our side... is getting somebody to work remotely out of the question?
3) How long would a task like this traditionally take (I know this question is very subjective, but an estimation would be awesome)?
4) Do you have any recommendations for firms who would be able to take on a large task like this?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
