Mug Shot time
I am therefore offering my time and services at a reasonable fee. Why? Firstly, my readership has demanded it. I have received requests from the Continent and the States for installation and support work of 3rd-party Moodle modules and plugins. Secondly, Moodle plugins are complicated and the installation, customization, and testing is time-consuming and tricky. Hire a professional like me. Think of the time, stress and money you'll save.
Thirdly, I charge so that I can continue to do what I LOVE doing. That is turning creative thoughts and ideas into real code that when implemented will impact your orgaisation's Learning Management System. Making life better for your teachers and students. Bringing Moodle to life. Making it exciting and vibrant. Educating lives. On a volunteer basis, I can't guarantee that I won't be called away to do paying jobs. I have a family, a wife and two young pre-teen children to support. I'm a real person with a house mortgage to service. I have bills to pay every month. Doing what I am doing aligns my passion with my family responsibilities as the head of the house. In other words, getting paid means a professional commitment that my services will always be available for those who need it.
Finally, for readers of this blog who require professional help in installing the Moodle modifications and plugins, I am offering a Special Installation Package (SIP) with continual support and updates. On my blog you will see a new SIP badge that looks like this:
It's an extra paypal button with the words "Buy Now". As for my recent and future posts, how much are my charges for work done to install and support PHP/HTML/MySQL code? Well I'll charge US Dollars for work done, and the amount will depend on the complexity of the code and time spent on development. And some work asked of me may be beyond my present skills. If or when that is so, I will point you elsewhere.
Finally, if you have benefited from my programming talents and innovative ideas on improving Moodle for the classroom, I welcome you to leave a testimony on this blogpage for all and sundry to read and to ponder.

Hi Frankie,
ReplyDeleteI am very happy you have decided to offer your "installation of code to anyone who may have the need, but not the time to do so." That is me to the T.
It was a real convenience to have you install your custom code on my website. With my teaching load, new baby in the house, and the extra work already involved in administrating a busy Moodle site, it was great to have you install the Stamp Collection plugin for me. And the price can't be beat! Okay, it wasn't free, but it was easy and I am happy to be able to support your excellent work on this blog.
I'll definitely be using your services again in the near future!
