Build a site with a WordPress theme and ultimately end up editing the HTML and CSS to get the desired result that's not possible out of the box.
Add a plugin that doesn't quite meet my needs and end up learning PHP to edit the source.
For people that learn by taking apart what's there, no-code tools are excellent learning tools.
The first time I actually completed a project was when I built the website for my small business, cpustorage.com. I built it by starting with a Wordpress theme and continually tinkering with the HTML and CSS until I got the site where I wanted it to be, using Google to solve problems as I ran into them. This process resulted in more learning, it was more fulfilling and fun, and it actually led to the launch of a business.
I need help choosing a more appropriate WordPress host and migrating my three sites to the new host. I currently use WP Engine and pay $99/month for three sties with less than 1,000 visitors per month combined.
Two of the sites are very small and straightforward blogs. They are czstrong.com and theladude.com The other site is my businesses website - cpustorage.com. I don't think it's very complex either.
The Job:
* Recommend a new hosting solution that is less than $50/month. The cheaper the better, as long as it's reliable and easy to manage and deploy to.
* Migrate my three websites to the new provider.
* Setup SSL on the signup page of cpustorage.com
* Teach me how to manage the site. I currently use Git Push to Deploy, so if the new host had that that'd be nice. Or, feel free to teach me an even easier way to deploy!
I would like to pay a flat-fee for the whole project. I don't care if it just takes you a couple hours to do it. I'm not familiar with how much I should be paying for this, so please provide me with a quote.
If you'd like to help me with this project, please email me with your quote and telling me a bit about your relevant experience. I created these three sites myself and set them all up so I can help you get this done as efficiently as possible.
Thanks!

People work on open source projects because they are driven and motivated by the challenge of creating great software that lasts, the mastery they develop while doing it, and the fulfillment and satisfaction of making a contribution to the community of fellow hackers.
For example, http://www.unbrandeddesigns.com/ is gaining traction as "Quirky for furniture". I see many advantages. The submissions and participants are more focused and passionate since they're only dealing with the type of product they care about. And the team can source, build, sell, and distribute more effectively because they are only working within one industry.
