During this session we'll take a look at what a distributed company is and why they're a good idea, especially for low capital start-ups. Then we'll dive right in and what I think are the essentials in running a distributed Drupal shop:
- Essential skills you need
- SOHO setup
- How to find the right people
- How to maintain relationships at a distance
- How we get paid
- How to maintain quality
- Keeping projects on track
- Client reactions, trust and full disclosure
- Contracts and our SLA
- Why we choose a niche market
The session is based on my everyday experiences running a distributed company for the last 4 years, the last 2 of which have been 100% focused on building Drupal themes.
