WordPress custom development

I'm looking for a long term developer for WordPress sites (and potentially other php stuff). I'm an owner of a web hosting company and my customers like me because I get stuff done quickly, and know who they are. My customers tend to find me by word-of-mouth she that I can fix problems that they've had with cheap web hosts, so I have a lot of customers who have interesting requirements of one sort or another. I'm an efficiency nut, and if you can't code for high performance, high caching, don't bother taking this position, you will be scored poorly. Take a look at a few of my sites to see what I mean: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] They all have their HTML (as well as images, css, js, etc) cached by cloudflare very heavily and use very little system resources because very few hits actually make it can to the original server. Most WordPress plugins do not work in this environment. They all use super ache in advanced nice with nginx as the web server. For artofmanliness, make all users anonymous is enabled, with some extra super cache plugins to force it to do the right thing in all circumstances. Many developers who help work on this site (I just do the hosting and major infrastructure stuff) don't understand this and disable supercache while they are working, which causes cloudflare to cache custom versions of the site (and ends up showing the admin bar to unauthenticated visitors, etc). If you can't explain to me why that happens, again, I'm not interested. Today's project is for foodsocial. The "you might be interested in..." section below the recipe needs to be randomized within the same post/recipe category, rather than just the most recent posts. Recipe post: [login to view URL] Very simple but I want to see how you work and how it goes. The entire site is under source control using subversion, and you'll have to use that tool. You can make edits either by ssh'ing to the dev server making the edits directly via emacs or vi (I can install another editor if you'd like, if there is a debian package for it), or you can edit stuff on your own computer and check it in via subversion, and then either use my web script to update it on the dev server or login and run svn update directly. Once I've approved the change, I'll merge it to the main branch and run svn update on the main site I've architected the entire site, and I think things are reasonably straightforward once you get used to where stuff lives and how it interacts The only interesting thing to note is that the plugins and template code powers both primalpalate and foodsocial, so there are some if statements here and there (in JavaScript and php). I expect this to be a php only project, and be quite quick to implement. The goal is a long term relationship. I'm posting this as a fixed price contract, and you better be on the low end of the range, but I expect to use an hourly project once we get to know each other.
