Estimate Request Form

In order for us to provide
an estimate, we need to know the details of the web site you have in mind. This
form will guide you in providing the information we need and will serve as a
Request For Proposal on which we will base our estimate.

Please type your answer
after each question. Neatness, grammar and punctuation do not matter, but completeness definitely does! When you’re done, save the document and send it as an
attachment to [email address]. We’ll go over it and provide you with a
proposal and estimate.

We realize that this will
require some time and effort, but it’s crucial to the estimating process.
Thank you!

Future Maintenance Options

We do not recommend that you
work directly on your site using FrontPage or any other web design software.

However, we can provide what
is known as a Content Management System, allowing you to add to and update much
of the content of your site using your web browser. This adds significantly to
the cost of producing your site, but can be ideal for some organizations. Are
you interested in a Content Management System?

Another alternative is for
us to maintain your web site, with fees based on time required. In some
situations, this can be a cost-effective alternative. Are you interested in
considering this type of maintenance?
