Looking to get your elearning project going with the help of a Moodle developer?

So you have an elearning project that you are looking to get off the ground with the help of a Moodle developer. You are aware of Moodle and are pretty sure that’s the direction you want to go. All that remains now is finding the right team to help you push the project forward.

You are going to need a moodle developer or two to get started and work with your team, but first you need to be clear on a few things:

Once all this is as clear as it can be in your mind, you can begin to put together your moodle developer team. There are a few ways of going about locating your own Moodle developer, and if you have a little experience finding freelancers then you shouldn’t have a problem.

This is the central website for the  Moodle Community. Here you can find up to date information on the latest releases in Moodle split into three categories – About Moodle, Installation and Managing a Moodle Site. At Moodle jobs you’ll find a whole host of job offers from all across the world and the Moodle Community, and with an account you will be able to post your own offer of freelance work.

The Moodle Community is the best source of information available to people wanting to learn more about Moodle, where to find a Moodle developer and problems that projects can run into. Given that it is an open source community everyone is willing to help, and through the forums you should be able to get most of your questions answered by people with plenty of experience on Moodle projects.

Elance, Upwork, Guru, Toptal and even Craigslist are where the majority of freelance Moodle developers will be hanging out. Be very specific about the project requirements and make sure that the site you choose best fits your needs. You can also use traditional job boards to post job adverts, such as Indeed.com and Monster.com. Although less geared towards freelancers they might be a good source of talent and way to bag yourself a moodle developer or two.


The important thing to do is to leverage as much of the available information as possible before you start, as experience tells us that several companies make this mistake. Don’t be seduced by the lack of a price tag on Moodle – sometimes the development and hidden costs outweigh the cost of going with an LMS provider, and often organizations end up having to shell out twice when they realize they don’t have the expertise needed to complete the project satisfactorily.
