What information needs to be provided in order to get a quote for website creation?

In other words what do the graphic designers and coders need to know in order to give me a quote?

Thanks a ton.

    Hi Josiah

    From the top of my head, the main aspects might be (some might tie in with one another):

    * Nature of website.
    * Target Market.
    * Background to the business / individual.
    * What they Hope to achieve.
    * Number of pages.
    * Content / Features of pages.
    * Domain Name registration.
    * Hosting services.
    * Do you need a CMS?
    * SEO?

    I need a members area.... and the members area needs to be top notch secure. Would this fall under page features?

    Thanks

    You need to either buy a membership system or have something build from scratch. The cheapest and easiest way to do it would be to buy something like Kajabi.

    To create a good membership system from scratch you're looking at a 3k-5k investment at least.

    You've also posted somewhere else that you want a top notch shopping cart as part of this site, so that + a members area that is secure is going to up the cost.

    If you buy cheap you'll get cheap - in this instance expect to be reassured by quotes around the 5K mark.

    This sounds like it would be much easier and cheaper if you build it on WordPress.

      Yes that would be a feature . In this case the website would be from medium to very complex depending on what would the member area consist of .

      My recommendation is that you talk with your chosen designer + coder via voice chat . This way you'll be able to sync up the information .

      There are cheaper solutions depending on what you require from the members area .

      This might be next to impossible to build on WP . Also if you are any kind of professional you won't use WP .
