Контрактник — это консультант которого нанимают на временную работу на основании договора между компанией клиента и компанией консультанта.

If you’re considering ECommerce options in general, and especially WordPress ECommerce in particular, you may find yourself asking whether WooCommerce or Jigoshop is the best fit for your online storefront. Maybe these are the only two ECommerce solutions you’re considering, and just maybe you’re not even interested in reading a lengthy article comparing and contrasting and delving into the minutia of what are still two very similar options. If you’re merely looking for an anonymous opinion, or just the sort of person who likes to know the ending ahead of time, well, I’ll save the suspense:
