New Website tech needed

Post by Ryan_Miller »

Hey everyone!

My brother in law is our current website tech and he is getting out due to work and other commitments.

Trying to find anyone that is interested in helping us out.

We only need yearly checkups and right now it could probably use some updating on the web programing to keep someone from messing with the website programing.

I have been calling around without much luck.

Thanks!

Guys, this is rather high priority item. If you know anyone that would be interested in helping us out.
Next time the website has an issue and goes down it can take a lot of money to pay for a professional to fix things.

Just keeping this toward the top and trying to plan ahead before we are in a bind.

Thanks!

Hey,

Obviously this is an extremely high priority.

We need a tech type person - we are talking 30min worth of work twice a year.

Hey Ryan, what exactly are you in need of? I am not exactly ignorant about computer work, but I'm not an IT either. I would be willing to help out if I can, but I have limited skills in website programming.

We are looking for someone with sufficient skills to maintain the current web site and it's server year round. Make needed repairs on both quickly. Make necessary updates on both on a timely basis. Our last two outages lasted 3 days over a weekend each time. This would be unacceptable on the web. The surface issues with the software are usually handled by Ryan or I within hours.

Still looking for someone? I may be able to help. I’ve run my own Web Forum (vBulletin) for over 23 years. Yeah I had one back in 1996! I have backed up SQL databases and have scripts for snapshot copies , etc... Just not sure what your looking for. Not even sure who hosts this site or it’s disk space needs. Perhaps a PM is needed to hash out some details.
