This project is a PSD2HTML project that I am posting privately for skulled/Vinod (who I have hired previously on scriptlance).
The project has a very strict deadline - delivery after the deadline is a major problem. I am happy to overpay $75 more than the lowest estimate from Vinod, but the condition is that the project must be complete to the requirements stated, and MUST be on-time. If the project is not complete on time, or has bugs then I will have adjust the project cost downward accordingly.
The specification is described in the following IM conversation we just had (included for reference and convenience), and the PSD & JPG files are included here for reference.
[03:10:11] Alastair says: are you available and have the skills for a PSD to xHTML job?
[03:10:23] Alastair says: deadline is Monday
[03:10:54] Alastair says: it's *fairly* simple job and i have a working prototype of the site 100% complete
[03:14:47] Alastair says: utilitysaver
[03:15:13] Alastair says: this site is *almost* what we need done but there are changes and the original code sucks
[03:15:45] Alastair says: this is the latest version of the PSD
[03:17:11] Alastair says: i have the original source for the html/css if it's useful
[03:17:37] Alastair says: i reckon it might be better to start it from scratch - but i'm not a css coder so you might be able to fix the original
[03:17:56] Alastair says: that's the live version
[03:18:09] Alastair says: i.e. the wrong design and with bugs
[03:18:38] Alastair says: so it's an urgent project, but it is fairly small in scope
[03:18:42] Alastair says: only 2 html pages
[03:18:47] Alastair says: both same template and design
[03:18:49] Vinod Devanathan says: So you only need the PSD to be converted into xHTML/CSS .. that's it ..
[03:18:56] Vinod Devanathan says: no coding etc
[03:19:09] Alastair says: i need the hide/show div to work as per the live site
[03:19:16] Vinod Devanathan says: ok
[03:19:39] Alastair says: one thing, it needs to work in IE7
[03:19:51] Alastair says: discovered that current doesnt - images get messed up
[03:29:47] Vinod Devanathan says: doesn't look too bad .. since its not too heavy
[03:33:38] Alastair says: ok, back to project spec and timeline
[03:34:01] Vinod Devanathan says: yes ..
[03:34:10] Alastair says: ok, so there are 2 pages
[03:34:21] Alastair says: home and secondary
[03:34:31] Alastair says: both have same template
[03:34:55] Alastair says: there is a script which i have working version in the zip you have there
[03:35:12] Alastair says: which does simple php mail() of contact info in the top right form
[03:35:19] Alastair says: when Go is clicked
[03:35:26] Vinod Devanathan says: Ok
[03:35:31] Alastair says: besides that, other interactive elements are
[03:35:42] Alastair says: logo - link to / dir
[03:36:12] Alastair says: More button - clickable hide/show relevant content (must work in FF3 & IE7)
[03:36:19] Vinod Devanathan says: Ok
[03:36:28] Alastair says: standard links
[03:36:38] Alastair says: i dont give a damn about valid code
[03:36:52] Alastair says: if that's your thing, feel free to make it compliant
[03:37:02] Vinod Devanathan says: Ok
[03:37:03] Alastair says: otherwise, so long as it works i'm happy
[03:37:54] Alastair says: the 2nd page here is
[03:38:13] Alastair says: you can see it's identical formatting (for speed and cost)
[03:38:20] Vinod Devanathan says: Ok
[03:38:35] Alastair says: i'm getting designer to make a couple of minor tweaks as we speak
[03:38:43] Alastair says: tidying up the look of some content
[03:39:34] Alastair says: tell me - can you get what i've described done by 0900 GMT Monday morning, and if so, what cost
[03:39:46] Vinod Devanathan says: Yeah the timeline is not a problem
[03:39:53] Alastair says: i will email you the PSDs of the final images
[03:39:59] Vinod Devanathan says: In terms of cost .. time based charges?
[03:40:25] Alastair says: what's the time based charges rate and whats your estimate of nyumber of hours?
[03:40:30] Vinod Devanathan says: What do you prefer, time based charges or a fixed quote?
[03:40:37] Alastair says: fixed easier
[03:40:40] Vinod Devanathan says: time based charges I go with $25/hour
[03:40:53] Vinod Devanathan says: and we are looking at around 4 - 5 hours of work in total
[03:41:08] Alastair says: ok, so approx $100-120?
[03:41:12] Vinod Devanathan says: yup
[03:41:15] Alastair says: ok
[03:41:24] Alastair says: i'll give you $175 on completion
[03:41:29] Vinod Devanathan says: Alright
[03:41:50] Alastair says: but i need to have it done on time, tested and no errors in details (correct text and images etc)
[03:41:56] Vinod Devanathan says: Got it
[03:42:00] Vinod Devanathan says: Sounds good
[03:42:01] Alastair says: cheers!
[03:42:07] Vinod Devanathan says: Talk to you later
