Are there any web designers/developers here who would be interested in quoting on a small project?
I run a small finance company and I'm looking to develop our online offering. I have put together a spec that would be ideal. Basically it would involve a redesign and some elements such as application forms integrating with our database (Filemaker).
I have had a quote from an associate of our software developer but it was rather eye watering. I think he needs the competition!
If anyone has any referrals for anyone they have used it would be appreciated.

I was asked to start working with these website designers in Cardiff by a client two years ago. I have since passed almost all of my clients to them as their knowledge and end products are great. For a well made and SEO'd site it is nigh on impossible to better them.

Integrating with a live in-house filemaker DB is not all that common so it might be tricky getting lots of quotes.
I have done it before using PHP and (if i remember rightly) the filemaker xml interface but we had to lock down the internal DB behind its own firewall and just open a single port between that and the web server as the filemaker db will be full of your important customer data etc and the less of that you expose the better. I think filemaker has become more web friendly over the past few versions with better SQL support etc
It might be easier, cheaper & more secure building a seperate website with the forms required then a mechanism to import the data into FM manually or as a batch.

I think that is likely the way it will go. We dont get a massive amount of enquiries so manual import isnt a major hardship.I have done it before using PHP and (if i remember rightly) the filemaker xml interface but we had to lock down the internal DB behind its own firewall and just open a single port between that and the web server as the filemaker db will be full of your important customer data etc and the less of that you expose the better.

Hi
we are going to be replacing our website in the next 4-6 weeks which we would like building from scratch. Likewise, the option to import directly into Filemaker 10 would be a huge bonus.
If anyone is interested please send your details to andygroves@solarfusionltd.co.uk and mention pistonheads
cheers
