you are a technology driven company, hire a technical person
almost everybody here runs a technology driven company.
i beg you to hire a technical person that you pay monthly for their help.
i'm not saying it should be me and my team, although this is our expertise, but someone.
most people in this industry see programmers as someone that they pay once to do a small job, and then maybe pay them for another job. if you dont already have someone on staff you pay monthly, please readjust your thinking. having someone you can rely on that has a vested interest in your company can be a great boon to you.
too often in this industry i see people rely on the nats programmers and the sysadmins at the data center. and where this works, i urge you to find a technical person to have on staff to manage technical things.
I have been doing contract programming in the adult industry long time, and never once have i seen a few thousand dollar per month retainer as not being made up for by having one of my team members on staff and on call.
