What an excellent question! But before we get to answering, it's important to know that as a company, we care more about technology than our bottom line. If we're not a good fit, we'll happily point you in the direction of our competitors. If you are looking for some JavaScript or jQuery work, drop us a line and we'll help anyway we can.
Oh, one more thing ... we are open to a fault. So instead of making you read marketing dribble, I'll break this question down into a few honest FAQs.
Are you available for hire?
Almost always yes. There are 3 of us and we are always hungry for more work.
How much?
Our hourly price vary on the nature of the work. We start at $160 an hour. But if you have something that keeps us busy for months or is EXTREMELY interesting, we'll be happy to negotiate.
What type of work do you do?
We work on large Client-side JavaScript applications. Our specialty is providing organization, training, and management advice. We leave your team JavaScript gurus, your code organized, tested, and documented. After we leave, you should never need us again.
Qualifications?
I think Bitovi is uniquely qualified for large-scale JavaScript/jQuery development efforts. Brian and I worked for companies like GE and Acceture. We know what it's like working on huge, multi-million dollar projects. At the same time ....
- We've done nothing but work on big and complex JavaScript apps for the past 4 years
- We speak at conferences (jQuery Con, JSConf).
- We organize the JavaScript Chicago Meetup.
- We built JavaScriptMVC to house our best practices.
We are a unique combination of the enterprise and the agile, the creative and the rigorous, the new-school and the old-school. We are hyper-qualified.
JavaScriptMVC?
JavaScriptMVC is a collection of the best tools and practices we've used over the last 4 years. It's a bunch of extremely useful jQuery extensions that help organize, test, and document your apps. We often get asked if JavaScriptMVC must be used on our projects. As everything in JavaScriptMVC can work without everything else, we can use only the parts of JavaScriptMVC that your project really needs. But, JavaScriptMVC kicks serious ass, why aren't you using it already?
