£2000 freelance job, Interested?

Hi All,

The observant among you may have seen this post before earlier in the year - my client has finally made up his mind he wants to go ahead, but the guys who responded first time round are no longer freelancing. As such, here it is again. I welcome bids from anyone qualified and interested in the job.

I currently have a need for site to be coded and am looking to contract it out.

The site that I need will be along the same lines as the following site: http://www.printedballoons.com/designBalloon.aspx

We will need it to work slightly differently, such as ability to add multiple orders to a basket, but overall nothing major in terms of the development of the site.

I have a budget for this of £2000+VAT, Skills are more important to me than budget, but it wont hurt your chances if you can do it cheaper than the next man ;)

The successful bidder is likely to get more work from me going forward (especially if you are fluent LAMP developers alongside your flash skills).

Though this is a repost, I do want to push the fact there is more owrk after this job is done as we now have quite a lot of demand for flash elements to jazz up html sites.

Timeframe for this job is three weeks from acceptance, which will be over the next week or so.

If you are interested, please email me with anything similar(ish) you have done - you will need to demo both flash and db skills please, not just flash.

In your email please state your physical location (so I know when I can call you )

My email is tmc-at-colewood-dot-net

Thanks for your time.

Cheers

Travis

To get it done right I expect a good freelancer to ask for at least £8000 min

It's a 3 week project, which makes your day rate £533 or so.

Get much work at those prices ?

Squize.

To be fair, if we're talking rates: £533 is approx $900 for clarity's sake. 8 hours per day: $900/8 ~= $112/hr.

Definitely not unreasonable, dude. Most competent and expert level developers are higher than that.

I'm obviously giving it away then :)

Perhaps that's a valid amount for a one / two day project, but I really don't know of any London based freelancer earning much more than £400 a day, and for that you're either bringing excellent design skills along with you, or you've got one hell of a track record on something specific like Papervision, and then working for a big ass client.

Anyway sorry about the hijack, back to the thread...

Squize.

8000 is not an unreasonable money if one was to do the shopping cart and have the payment solved within the site, but the sample given has the it solved through 3rd party so you're basically supposed to do a rather small site and have the data sent over? (maybe mistaken here)
There are people who will do decent work for that money and I'm sure he found some.

I emailed the guy but got no respons back

Squize, I work for a london agency called Skyron and do a bit of freelance on the side :). My quote was a guestimate, design & build :cap:

Hopefully the guy will get his site made and best of luck to him, I would love to help but just cannot for that amount :mad:

Ah, I didn't think you factored in design, that makes it more realistic :)

( Just to clarify, I used to work for preloaded before going self employed, so I'm not 14 and willing to kill my family for £2000, that is less than I would do it for, code only, but £8k is still a bit on the high side :) ).

Squize.

I agree with Squize, most of the time an senior flash developer (AS3, design pattern, PureMVC) is charged between £300-£400 a day.
For £500 a day I would expect the job to be done without any issue and delays

Jesus I'm seriously undercharging if 112 quid is a reasonable hourly rate for a competent programmer.
