We do Wordpress. We know the difference between MU and multiple single instances (pros and cons of both). We can also help train your staff to do it themselves and will be available for follow-up work remotely. We're new to GetAFreelancer, so we don't have any feedback, yet, but we're willing to converse via voice if you'd like to get more comfortable. We've done other CMS, but have returned to WP for ease of end-user maintenance.

Hey Guys, I'm up in St Pete, I work as a Linux Engineer at a Data Center in Downtown Tampa and do this sort of stuff daily. What you are asking for is actually pretty easy. I can most certainly recommend hardware that you'll need. I have Fridays and Saturdays off and could come down Thursday night, stay with a friend and come in to your office all day Friday and give you on site training. We could even install Linux at your data center that day, create all of the users and passwords on site. Assuming you have the hardware ready. So the game plan would be, talk on the phone, I'll explain the different Wordpress blogs but I doubt you'll want MU, we'll discuss what hardware to get, you order the hardware, I can come down all day Friday, install, train and write up documentation as we go along. Transferring Wordpress to a new server is extremely simple and can also be done that day as well. If you need more time, I am more than happy to also stay down there Saturday as well. NOTE: The bid also includes all of my travel expenses, so there is no additional cost, since I am somewhat local. :) Hopefully we will be working together soon.

Hi! We're a UK-based company who are experts in the WordPpress market. We've helped the largest company in Europe (The NHS here in the UK) migrate several of their system over to WordPress and WordPress MU and have developed several applications which utilise this excellent blogging platform. (And modifying it into an excellent generic CMS) We have scaled WPMU upto several hundred instances and have vast knowledge of the codebase - several of our developers have had code submitted to the WP Core. We have travelled globally to assist several large companies set up their own WPMU environment and have deployed WP and WPMU at several places around the world. We run our own Linux-based datacentre here in Manchester and have first-hand experience in setting up, running, maintaining and securing such an environment. We have also delivered many training sessions and help documents including production of professional screencasts, Word Documents and PDF manuals to many employees. We can provide references to back up all of what is written above. What we're trying to say is that we genuinely believe we're the best candidate for this particular role. It's clear that others that have bid for this haven't even read your proposal and I imagine you've been subjected to quite a lot of spam. We would love to hear more about the project and like to strike up a dialogue to discuss this further. We will not PM you as we believe that is unsolicited, unprofessional and unfriendly - however, please feel free to get in touch with us so that we can hear the finer details of this project. Thank you for taking the time to read this and we genuinely look forward to hearing from you, Kind regards, Richard & The Friendly Design Team.

Hi guys. I work as a system administrator for a well know media based in Southern California. We have about 15 WordPress blogs that I support. Since they get a lot of traffic, I have set a customized load balances structure with a single ssl backend (wp-admin) for them. Also, I can customize for you some useful WP scripts for mass-upgrade and quick installation of new blogs. Hope to hear from you soon :)
