I am in PST timezone (Vancouver Island) but can work EST hours. I am very familiar with CMS, though not so much with wordpress (I need this kind of work to gain more experience with it though, and I am a fast learner with these kinds of things). I am very capable with PHP and html and understanding the underlying engine powering scripts.
I don't need exuberant rates for long term work and would be available most of the time.
I am not really sure how to do this milestone thing under this kind of project circumstances, probably small per maintenance rates might work?
