Body: <p>I know of the <a href="https://straightupcraft.com/professionals" rel="nofollow">Craft Professionals</a> page on Straight Up Craft, but I'm curious if there is a more targeted way to find Craft pros who are willing and able to take on maintenance of pre-existing Craft sites.</p>
  
  <p>This Q/A site seems obviously wrong for that. Are there other places to post requests or find a list of potential partners?</p>
  
  <p>I hope this question is considered on-topic. Thanks!</p>

  I know of the [Craft Professionals](https://straightupcraft.com/professionals) page on Straight Up Craft, but I'm curious if there is a more targeted way to find Craft pros who are willing and able to take on maintenance of pre-existing Craft sites.
  
  This Q/A site seems obviously wrong for that. Are there other places to post requests or find a list of potential partners?
  
  I hope this question is considered on-topic. Thanks!

  As of this posting, there isn't another *reliable* source for Craft professionals. The CMS is so new compared to other systems that a 'base' of well-known, reliable companies/developers hasn't had the chance to form yet.
  
  You could google and find a few, but they're spread out among developers that most likely wouldn't give you good results. I'd stick with the Straight Up Craft list, since you're at least sure they've seen/read about best practices on the Straight Up Craft site.
  
  You could also post jobs to places like [Authentic Jobs](https://authenticjobs.com/), and specifically ask for Craft experience, or Straight Up Craft's [Job Board](https://straightupcraft.com/jobs).
