getting a quote for a simple (ish) web application & site.

[Davi]

I've been (finally) asked to get our appalling web presence updated. Whilst discussing I've also had tentative approval on getting a basic application created to handle our product Data, which will be incorporated into the website.

I've been asked to get a few quotes by the powers that be, so thought I'd throw a post up here just in case anyone is interested.

I'll be honest here to save any wasted time or bad feelings - have one company already vieing for the business, but it's not a done deal by any stretch, and the boss is one of those that likes to talk up these idea's but has a death grip like you wouldn't believe on the cheque book. Typical customer as well - will keep you waiting for 6 months for a small scrap of info then 10 minutes after handing it over want to know why the project wasn't completed 3 months ago

Basic requirements are a database to store product data in, plus a simple content managed website. Database has approximately 60 fields of info, each with notes field and visibility options according to log in credentials. Website to have 2 key areas with full secure log in facility, online content management, plus display product info searched and filtered from the database.

Quote needs to take into account 2 options on the design side - 1 with the design work included, one with it being created by third party and handed over.
