Cost of Web Development??

[stc_bennett]

I and a college have been working on a quick rough site for aour clients to get updates etc of progress of there projects.

But in the longer term we are looking for a company person to develop a full ASP site with forums etc so that we can concentrate of our work in hand and not worry about the website etc.

we are looking for a person or company to update the site and bring it upto date design/presentation wose not the content. the site is quite large circa 30Gig for all information mainly engineering drawing and product manuals/installation instructions and user guides.

how much would it cost for someone to rehash the site (8000 pages or so) add a forum, Flash intro and some other flash demos to the site. and possible convert some of the user guide and installation guides into a flash demo.??

Money is that much of a problem but the quality of the end product must be first class

Cheers

any ideas of a rough cost estimate

[stc_bennett]

I have been quoted 35k from some one but the work involved i think that is a bit excessive.

There is around 6000 pages of text, user manuals product discrptions etc plus instalationmanuals.

its all in a data base at the moment but not a very efficent one as i am no ASP expert of web development expert just dabble from now and then.

The guilde lines for my previous quote was

1) new Company website product info etc (200 pages, 100 images)
2) secure area for clients to gain support info plus manuals etc and a dedicated support forum for each client
3) 40 paper manuals to be converted to Flash with new graphics etc
4) development of a small intraet site (employees details, news etc normal intranet

Cheers
