###Custom Abot Consulting/Development

Reasons to consider hiring me instead of doing it yourself...

  • I can customize/extend Abot faster than anyone else. No one knows this library better than I do.
  • I've spent years solving problems related to crawling and processing data from the web.
  • All modifications/customization will be done in the "right places" and existing functionality of the product will not be broken or unexpectedly modified.
  • If there is no "right place" to add the modification, I have the luxury of adding custom hooks to the Abot library so future upgrades will be hassle free.
  • Hiring a cheap contractor WILL lead to an inferior solution. It will also likely COST YOU MORE than if you hire me.

###How it works

1: A good faith donation of $150 to the Abot project is required before any serious correspondence/meetings/conversations/estimating. This lets me know you are serious about the contract opportunity. The FULL AMOUNT is credited toward any paid blocks of time described below. You can donate here.

2: Work is prepaid in 10 hr blocks.

Hours Rate/hr Total Savings
10 $100 $1000 $0
20 $90 $1800 $200
30+ $80 $2400 $600

3: You will receive a specialized build of Abot that you would then plug into your system. This keeps your cost down by avoiding the need for me to learn the intricacies of your system. It also allows much faster debugging if any future bugs pop up since I can Isolate the crawling component from the rest of your system.
