Hourly Rates (Introduction):

Intern $10-$12 / hour

IC $12-15 / hour

Hourly Rates (Experienced with Drupal Theming):

Intern $15-$18/ hour

IC $18-$20 / hour

Translation: Intern == student, IC == independent contractor. Location? This is in the San Francisco Bay Area. Suffice it to say that things are different on the other side of the GGB.

I won't say who's hiring because I don't need the competition. I'm asking for $15/hr. Wish me luck.","time":1338334397,"title":"Drupal developers wanted.

Content like a tip of the day, store locations of a retail chain, cocktail recipes etc.

I think this always is way too much effort. I either have to create a small web application myself to manage and serve the content in JSON/XML or configure a large open source CMS to do this (which is a pain). And I have to host and maintain those systems, which costs time and money.

My hosted solution is cheaper, flexible and allows developers to configure many different data sets. Editors can manage the content for these data sets and you can then easily load that content into your mobile apps with JSON. You could also load the JSON into your website with JSONP or into a desktop app, but this is currently not the focus.

Basically a CMS for non-HTML applications. What do you think of this idea? Would you use it? Is there a market for this? Thanks so much for your feedback.
