Consider Hiring a Consultant
Although you do not have to pay anything to anyone to get help from the Tiki Community and use Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, you may choose to hire a Tiki Service Provider (Consultant) for help with installation, customizing, training, hosting, or anything else Tiki-related.
This consultants list is provided to help match Tiki consultants with users who wish to purchase support. By working with these consultants, clients are helping to grow the Tiki Community.
If you want to find a freelance person who can help, lookup someone on our Consultants page.
