 Re: Need a computer/IT person who knows PHP and OsCommerce
I second that an IT graduate is a bad idea.
They will be keen, and a good employee, but they are not job ready. What you will want is an IT graduate with minimum 2+ years job experience. (more experience if you can afford them). The issue you face there is that they will want 60k+ and any developer worth their salt will want 80k+
Think of IT as like building a house. You wouldn't hire a fresh apprentice to architecture and build your house. Don't make the same mistake with computers and software.
Be *very* careful of building a system from scratch. The costs are always more than people realise and it is much like building a custom house. It requires years of experience not to risk botching it.
