Where can I begin? This was not an easy job for Gopala but in the end he worked hard and the site was up to scratch. Throughout we faced numerous issues but in the end we fought these issues and conquered them. The only criticism I would give is that Gopala likes to stick EXACTLY to what you have written in the original order - so if you chose him make sure you have ALL your details in the original order since he was hesitant when I asked to add a few minor additions to the site. However, he did help out on some things which weren't in the original order so that was good of him! Despite this all in all - he worked hard and did very well. He has excellent PHP skills and sound general programming knowledge. He is also very quick compared to other freelancers - and he is also very enthusiastic and responds straight away to any queries or issues via email. He has excellent communication skills and very good English. It seemed as though he was awake 24 hours a day sometimes. He is kind, pleasant and hard working - and all in all A*. Excellent work Gopal !
