Look at relevant work
Look beyond a list of skills. Read the examples and the person’s role in making them.
Work with developers
From web apps and sites to integrations and APIs, find someone who understands what you need. Look at their work and start with a conversation.

Small tasks. Bigger projects.
Start with the outcome. These are some of the things developers can help bring into the world.
Use the conversation to make the details clear before committing.
Look beyond a list of skills. Read the examples and the person’s role in making them.
Explain the outcome, timing and constraints. Ask what they need from you and what is included.
Agree the deliverables, review stages and price. A short shared brief is a better start than assumptions.
A brief you can both use
Example acceptance criteria for developers. Adapt them to your project.
A delivery opens as a diff with a line gutter. A note attaches to the line it is about, and approval is against the acceptance criteria you both agreed — not against a feeling about the demo.
Priced as fixed deliveries — a feature, a release, a fix — or by the hour as described work, never surveilled.
