The actual data shouldn't be hard to put it if you have it ahead of time. If you're including an admin area where they can input the data, HAVE THEM INPUT THE DATA. </p> <p>I'm sorry, I can't help with actual costing, I just estimate based on the complexity of the pieces as they are broken down and then hourly on top of the estimate as I have never worked on an online application that hasn't fallen prey to scope creep, data issues, et cetera.</p> Sun, 21 Mar 2004 21:21:01 +0000 Suzanne comment 1147962 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
