getting down to business

Did you know that there is more to DaniWeb than just being a great place to get help when you need it with your programming questions or those IT-related problems that are driving you mad? We like to think that we have the friendliest and most knowledgeable IT support community online, that goes pretty much without saying. But there is so much more to DaniWeb than just that. Have you thought about us as a business marketplace, for example?

Head over to the Business Exchange and you will discover another side to our community. A place where you can Post your Resume so that companies on the lookout for new and talented staff can see what you have to offer. If you happen to be a company that is Looking to Hire then our dedicated software development, web development, Internet marketing and IT consultant job offers forums are the place to post details of your vacancies, free of charge! Maybe you are looking for someone to help kick start a new business venture, you have a great idea but are not sure where to go to take it to the next level? Good news, we have the right forum for you: Project Partners Wanted. Similarly, our Show Off your Projects forum enables DaniWeb members to reveal to the community just what it is they are working on, be that an open source project, a dot-com startup, or just an idea. Our moderators to patrol this area, and no spamming will be tolerated. The same applies to our Website Reviews forum where you can show off your site and get helpful criticism or deserved praise from other members.

If you have got an item of hardware you want rid of, then head over to the Hardware Swap forum where you can buy, sell or swap hardware with other DaniWeb community members. We do ask that you don't link to online stores as only the direct sale of unique (and that means no bulk sales) computer hardware within the seller's immediate possession may be made available here.

And finally, there is our Webmaster Marketplace where those of you with a business interest in online life can exchange relevant links as well as offer advertising space, domains and even whole websites for sale. So what are you waiting for, head over to the DaniWeb Business Exchange and discover what you have been missing.
