CONTRACT: COLABORATION

*** ** Send replies directly to: <christopher(at)guerrant.com> ** ***



I am a webmaster for a medium size bank and am actively involved in
day-to-day development and maintenance of our company's Internet and
Intranet sites.   In addition to the web work, I support lots of other
database applications for the bank.  Size I wear so many hats, it becomes
difficult to become extremely proficient at all the web stuff I want to do.  
 
We are running a 10MB Internet site on an ISP.  Our Intranet is far more
sophisticated and is running on our network on an NT 4.0 box with IIS 3.0,
Index Server, some Active Server Pages, some Perl scripts and a couple of
other CGI scripts written by an outside vendor.  
 
I have lots and lots of things I want to do but it takes me forever as I
don't have all the skills necessary so learning them takes time.  For
instance, we have pages for each of our 15 or so departments and right now
I want to change the look of each of them.  I have a prototype but our logo
doesn't look right so I'm stuck.  I want to add a little DHTML but don't
know how yet.  I want to start using CSS for ease of maintenance.
 
Another example:  our training dept. wants a set of pages that allows our
employees to enroll via our intranet and get an email back telling them
they are enrolled and when to show up.  That involves database stuff.
We're running Oracle but I'm not sure how to get a Perl script to talk to
Oracle.  Heck, I don't even know how to write a Perl script yet.  
 
The bottom line is that I need someone on the outside to turn to for
occasional assistance on an hourly basis.  That person needs to be very
proficient at HTML, DHTML, graphic manipulation (I use Adobe 5.0), animated
gifs, Oracle ODBC, Perl (which is our scripting language of choice here),
Active Server Pages would be nice too since I created the Intranet using
Visual Interdev and have since stopped using it as it's over my head.
Also, some advanced multimedia stuff like streaming media as our Marketing
Dept. is about to want that running on our Internet site.
 
What i could see working is to ftp a set of files that I'm stuck on and get
your assistance via the phone & email to get it all working.  The word is
"Collaboration".
