Hey guys. This is my first time wanting to pay somebody to build me scripts. I am just wondering how much would it cost for any of these scripts to be built for me:
I have a pagination script and I need to add the following features to every article ID displayed from the pagination.
1. Email webpage link to a friend script. (per article ID).
2. User comments script with protection from SQL injection, mathematical security questions to avoid spams, and an admin page to approve or disprove comments. The user comments script will only view comments per article ID and all comments are up to date. (ex .php?article=25, .php?article=42 etc...)
3. Poll vote script where users vote weather they like the item from that article ID or not and users can only vote once. They click Yes, or No, and it shows the number of people that voted for either one. Poll vote script will also work based on per article ID (ex .php?article=25, .php?article=42 etc...)
4. Contact form with protection from spam and with mathematical security question to avoid spams.
I am fairly new at paying somebody and I'd like to know how this all works.
Anybody interested, please let me know.
Take care.

Re: Article scripts
Honestly it depends on the programmer and how much they'd charge for this kind of work. Personally I charge $75 an hour for custom programming work but you can find people/places that will do any or all of these for only $5. What I typically tell people is that you get what you pay for. If you want a decent turnaround with decent programming I wouldn't expect to pay anything less than $25+ an hour.

Re: Article scripts
I gather from your request that your programming skills are not as advanced so it would also be a good idea to find someone experienced to make sure that the scripts do what they should before paying the person / people that did the work. This is common sense but i thought i would throw it in because I've seen it happen before where someone wrote code, got paid and the code didn't do what it was supposed to.Netroxy wrote:This is my first time wanting to pay somebody to build me scripts.
