Hi,
I need a website building for a new project. Basic outline below, and on the attachment. Please let me know any details you need in order to place your bid.
## Deliverables
I'm attaching a jpeg of the basic idea ??" this is basic only ??" please ask me for any detail you need in order to place your bid. We will also need to discuss the project at more length once we get going with it to make sure we're both hymning from the same page.
I'd like to contract someone with an intelligent approach to their work, and with excellent English, so there ain't no communication probs.
I have a fairly solid idea of what I want, though there may be bits and pieces that I want to tweak from our initial discussions as we get into the project.
If I say or specify something that you ??" the person I contract to do the job ??" don't think is the best way to go about things, I want you to tell me.
If you see any areas where your workload can be cut down or other changes made, in order to save me money, I'd like you to tell me.
One such area may be: if you are a good programmer, but not a graphic designer, I can assist with the visual side of things. We would need to discuss this before project 'go', to ensure we have an arrangement and process that would work well.
When I say cut the workload etc, I don't want to cut corners ??" I need the site to be good.
I don't know a great deal about coding, but as I understand there is good accessible code, and messy code. I want good clean accessible code. I want code that would allow another coder to go into the site and take over the work easily if that proved necessary for any reason.
I'd like to give a coder friend of mine access to the work, so he can log in and take a quick look from time to time. I'm mentioning that now, just so there's no surprise with that at a later date ??" I don't wish to spy on you!
I need the project doing in decent time ??" I don't want to rush at the expense of quality workmanship, but I'd like us to get steaming ahead with the project.
I need the site to be open to search engines ??" ie optimised. (I will be providing the copy(the text) for the site.)
I'd like a good line of communication. I think the best way would be to discuss the project on Skype at the outset, and then use email/the rentacoder message board/Skype, as appropriate. Any communication outside of rentacoder we can add a note in rentacoder on any agreements, and each reconfirm the agreement on the message board if you like. Please feel free to add notes into rentacoder re this as you feel suit, and I may do the same.
I'd like regular updates on the work ??" please keep me informed on how you're progressing ??" every couple of days is not too frequent.
Please give me an estimated timeline as well as a $ quote. If possible, it would also be useful to know what parts of the project will be done by when ??" that can be after our initial discussion about the project.
Following our initial talk about the project overall, I'd like us to set off with improving the layout plan, the plan for organisation of menus, etc. This may be mainly my work, or it may be that you have some good ideas for that ??" that doesn't matter ??" I guess it will be both; so long as we have the best plan to suit the needs of the site.
As I say, please ask me for any detail you need in order to place your bid.
Thanks for bidding, Richard
