Paid Drupal services

Hi, I'm a fairly new user to drupal (a few months), and am developing a professional website using it because it seems to be the best solution for what I need. I have developed a few sites that I maintain using drupal with no problems, but my greatest challenges lay in developing the site for other non-web developer users to maintain without my intervention.

I am running out of time to experiment with it, and need to speak with a drupal guru about how to approach certain issues I am facing.

A brief rundown of the type of site I am trying to build:
A site for a national construction company that is primarily meant to serve as a marketing tool with limited maintainable sections on the front end. The back-end can be two separate websites if necessary, and requires: a simple client login section to be able to view proofs and check the status of a job, a simple employee login with a blog, and file repository.

I know drupal is entirely capable of handling all of this, but I would like some professional advice from experienced users/developers who have had to develop similar websites.

Some things I am uncertain on how to approach:

• best way to manage content editing roles (there will be no main webmaster, individuals from the company will be responsible for small sections, both on the front and back end)
• best way to manage file uploads (I want to avoid having the client use ftp at all costs)

I recently purchased a clone of eternalduel.com... I would like to get this converted to drupal as a module. The script did work on the server Where I bought it from, however I cannot get it to function on mine.

Help! Small business site seeking RELIABLE, experienced drupal developer for ongoing tech support for drupal-created site. Site has had some turnover and editor (site administrator) needs technical help for a upcoming launch. Would love someone happy to help train a non-technical, but levelheaded and sharp editor (site administrator) how to work in drupal environment. Some hand-holding is required.

Hello everybody :)

We are developing an online-chess-playing-portal using Drupal, and it would be nice to have well-designed theme for it. For now we are coding game functionality, and so on, but we are programmers, not very literate in design.

The portal, for a start, will consist of:
- statistic, rating and top players pages;
- user profiles;
- forum;
- news;
- some useful articles;
- and off course online chess play function provided with java-applet.

We are looking for a Drupal developer who is capable of developing both the logical and presentation layer of Drupal 4.7. Initially there will be a module to be developed. After that we are looking to have continuous development and support for our web application. We are looking to start development as soon as possible.

If interested please email me your availability, rate, sample work, and any references.

I have been using Drupal for a little more than a year now, and been using simple themes (i.e. blue bars) slightly altered to my tastes. I am now looking for a basic, clean, theme. This is something I could do on my own, but it would take me days or weeks while someone who does this sort of thing professionally would only take a several hours.
