[Joseph Crawford Jr.]

Yuri,

thanks for your opinion i am going to talk with the client and see what can be done.  It is actually a client of another company who wanted me to quote the job.  I think they just want me to develop this really cheap to increase thier profits i am not sure.  Thanks for all of your input on this situation.

  Joe -- in this instance-- your quote was rather fair in my eyes.. but hey once they say its too much.. refer to the proposal and say -- ok which elements can we remove so that we can fit the proposal into your alloted budget.... if they still give you alot of BS, wish them well and move on. Just my 2 cents.

  regards

    Yuri,

    that's just it, it's not a typical shopping cart, they want to have several store fronts that can sell items.  Multiple shops where a user can navigate and order products from more than one shop in one transaction.

    They also want an admin area for each shop, the main admin interface limited by access, such as admin1 has access to part of the admin area and admin2 can have access to more parts of the admin area.  If it wasnt confidential i would forward the docs to the list so you could see all of the features.  

    They want to be able to have a portal for the users so that they can have

    They can see the weather
    See the stock market
    See front page news from local newspapers
    Horoscopes
    Match.com
    The top boxoffice numbers

    Search integration including not limited to

    yahoo, google

    such stuff as
    -message board
    -classifieds
    -their profile
    -newsletter 
    -events
    -Email to a Friend recommend us kind of thing and win points program.
    -Discounts, shopping within the site's community members. So they can shop between themselves and have a community discount .

    so as you can see it is much more than a typical shopping cart.

    this project will probably take me upwards of 6-8 months

      For a shopping cart -- maybe a little. But you would know better..you met with them and could feel them out. But hey -- a deal is made when you have a willing seller and a willing buyer! Is the quote for a jewelry store?

      regards

        Guys i have put in a quote for a site similar to

        http://www.novica.com/

        and the person said the quote was way too much, my quote was $25,000 for the entire site to be done that is tax free for them, meaning i am paying my own taxes.  Thier site included a ton of statistic features and quickbooks report integration etc...

        Do you guys think i quoted high or low?
