Infinity Web Creations

Our daughter, Rebecca, turned one year old today. Happy birthday, sweetheart! Mommy & daddy love you very very much!!!!

Just wanted to give a quick thanks to everybody including my clients for helping boost traffic to this site 1,000%!!!

And thank you everybody who has been contacting me, I greatly appreciate your business!

I see this a lot, and to be honest, I'm not terribly concerned about it myself and I'll explain why below.

The big question… should you hire a USA programmer or a programmer from India (or other third-world country)? When hiring from outside of USA, you are likely to be spending about half the cost per hour than you would if you hired from the USA.

True, they do have a lower cost of living and so they can afford to work for less. What's also true is the old saying, "You get what you pay for." This is especially true in the web industry.

While you're paying more, you're paying for quality work which will be more flexible, better extended in future, and robust. Not only that, but you'll also have your project completed faster. And I'm only speaking generally here. There are some shoddy US-based programmers as well… some that just don't care, to some that are just starting out. But overall, you will get far better quality from a US-based programmer or team.

And not surprisingly, when factoring overall costs, US-based programmers often come at the same cost or even CHEAPER than India-based companies. The timezone gap and communication barrier presents an enormous challenge. Not only are you practically guaranteed that your final product will be something other than what you envisioned, but it's going to be a very frustrating work experience the whole time.

So you have to ask yourself… is my idea.. my project…my future……. is it worth spending a little extra per hour to get an end-result that is leaps and bounds more robust and stable and flexible than it would be otherwise?

When I'm working with my clients, I work with them in real-time. They see my screen, in real time, as I work. This allows unparalleled collaboration short of working together in person. Not only do you verify that I'm actually DOING the work when I say I'm doing it, but you're there along every step of the way able to quickly catch any mis-communications, or when new ideas come to mind, we are able to immediately discuss and implement those new ideas!

All of my clients are repeat clients. That's right. 100% of my clients have come back to me for more. And about HALF of my clients are people who have worked with third-world country programming teams who have upset them so much that they were forced to seek an alternative, better programmer who can actually make their plans and ideas a reality, quickly. Once a client switches to me, they are part of the Infinity Web Creations family for life–they refuse to leave because I deliver only top quality at an affordable price. I've not heard the same said for ANY third-world country programming team in my 10+ years in this industry.

I just finished taking the WordPress 2.8 Test, and realized that I scored within the Top 20% to Top 10% in all of the above tests on oDesk. Naturally I'm happy with those results, especially with the short duration (each test allows you 40 minutes to complete it).

There are over 117,000 web-developers currently on oDesk competing for your business. Don't trust your success to just anybody. Hire an experienced professional.

Welcome to what is becoming the new Infinity Web Creations website! The old website was entirely removed because it was basically just out-dated and never maintained. On the new site you'll see blog posts about various technologies that I use when working with clients (such as jQuery, PHP, MySQL, etc), other personal points of interest, and probably some stories about my personal life. You'll also be able to view my ever-evolving and updating portfolio. I am always for hire, and my current rate is $35 per hour. I also offer fixed-rate and capped-rate pricing structures on a per-project basis. The hourly rate is negotiable depending on the scope of the project and whether it's an ongoing position or contract job. Thanks for visiting, I sincerely hope you enjoy!
