Should I partner with the e-commerce developer or should i purchase the website and pay for the monthly maintenance?

Your business needs a strong technical team working on your project consistently. So its natural to be tempted to partner with a technical person who you may be able to offload the demand of ensuring the technical details are adequately implemented and maintained. However, they must bear risk. In your case, the person you're considering seems to be demanding stake plus payment for his services. Your vision is to grow your business, his maybe to get rich. If you're confident in their ability to develop and maintain then I'd suggest keeping it that way. The worst thing you'd want in your startup is having partner disputes early on. Also, no one developer can realistically handle all the tasks you identified. For the social media, online marketing and email marketing I'd hire a tech savvy marketer with a proven track record. For the technical bits, you can build a team around the core developer according to how far your budget can stretch. You may be able to find junior or inexperienced talent to work along with your senior experienced core developer. Whatever you do though, ensure that you can consistently do marketing and sales.

What is the best way to do a permissions system for a low traffic administration system, PHP preferred, but general suggestion is also valuable.

Hi,
I have been a PHP developer for 13 years and have experience building enterprise applications.

What framework are you using? Most PHP frameworks have a built in authentication and authorization mechanism. For example, Yii has a builtin RBAC system that allow you to define a hierarchical permission system.

If you're not using a framework or you just want to implement your own system for whatever reason then you can utilize Object Oriented Design and implement a Base controller (if MVC) that checks the permission for each request. That won't use a lot of if statements.

Probably need more info, to give definitive guidance. Hope that helps.

Ayo was a pleasure to work with. As sharp a technical brain as I've encountered but equally adept at explaining coding issues in layman's terms. Beyond this, Ayo pushes the boundaries to keep himself at the forefront of the web development industry. A real powerhouse to be reckoned with. Highly recommended.

I commissioned Ayo as lead developer for a major web development project and he was pivotal in helping us create an excellent end product.

Ayo is a rare developer with an excellent grasp of online usability and overall user experience. With a broad knowledge of web development technologies, he was able to lead a small team of developers on the project providing useful direction as well as hands on coding.

With Ayo you don’t just get a developer, but an excellent project manager too and all delivered with an infectious positive personality. Always.

Ayodele and I collaborated on Information Systems & Strategy during our MSc at the University of Manchester. At the outset, I can vouch for Ayodele’s commitment to deadlines and goals along with the depth of analytical skills he has. He is one stop shop for solutions related web technologies and can make technical jargon interestingly understandable to any audience. During our interactions it was evident that Ayodele draws his knowledge from the vast range of experiences and hence always has a unique solution to offer.
