I am developing a question and answer service site similar to [login to view URL] or several others.
Currently in regards to functionality, what I have is probably more than half done, however I lost my developer. There is still additional functionality to be added, polish to be done, bugs to be fixed, etc.
I need someone who can quickly pick up where my last developer has left off. You should have strong communication skills previous similar development experience. You should also have the ability to design on your own without a lot of guidance since I won't have time to lay out how every single thing needs to look and work.
I expect this project to take a little while to complete since I want to get things done right. If things go well, I would probably want to turn this into a long term relationship since I imagine I will need additional support and functionality added in the future.
