Offering professional Drupal service
After some months work with the fabulous Drupal system I have decided to offer professional services for that CMS in Germany. Based on Drupal 5.x I have created four websites last months, one for a community in the real estate business, one for stock investors and two drupal company sites.
I am really good in techniques like hooks, callbacks, templates and modularization from my business experience of the last years with C, C++, JAVA, PHP … on Unix and Windows. So it was pretty easy to get deep into Drupal (also thanks to my experiences with Wordpress and b2evolution as CMS’s). Drupal is fantastic.
Certainly, I will contribute my results (as far as allowed by my customers) back to the Drupal community as open source - and, if requested, I am willing to donate time and work to a German or international Drupal project. And to support the Drupal association with money, I will donate 5% of each Drupal related turnover (must check this against German tax laws first, probably I will have to use that 5% for advertising on drupal.org).

How much is your rate if you were asked to create a drupal website with 5 pages? In US $, thanks.

Hi Junelle,
thank you very much for your request. Unfortunately I am not able to make an offer with so less details. The cost will depend on the number of wireframes needed, on the number and detail of modules needed, on the Drupal version you need…
And to be honest, regarding the currently very low dollar against euro quote, I am quite sure that you can get that done for less in the USA.
You may find some really competitive hourly rates on drupalancers.com.
Best regards, Rainer
