Well that exersise is over. I outsourced it to three people. All saying it would be easy and would be done in a few hours.
The first guy seemed good when I talked to him, but had to work it on the next morning because he needed some sleep.
I was a bit worried he wasn't going to complete it in time so I outsourced the job to two other people. The second guy was really nice and helped me a bit, but instead of doing it himself he wanted to take me through the code, line by line for me to change and upload to my server. Which was kind of good because I learnt a bit, but still I didn't want to waste any of my own time on it, hence why I wanted someone else to do it for me. Anyway, he couldn't get the code to work in the end so we left it.
The third guy said he had finished and before I could see it I would have to pay him half the money. So I did, and I got the files and they were all wrong, so I emailed him back with all the problems, but he never got back to me. Anyway, I lost a tiny bit out on that but it wasn't too much, still I have learnt to ask to see the work in progress before I hand anything over.
So in the end, the first guy was the best. He ended up doing the code, pretty much to my specs, the only problem was that it broke up in a few browsers.
In the meantime I was playing with the site myself, because I thought none of them were going to do it, right. Eventually I came up with the best solution, which was to recode all page in css, so it didn't break-up in different browsers. So actually I came up with the best result in the end - lol!
