Hey,
Just a hypothetical question, I am not a freelancer doing this job and trying to figure out what I should I charge, I know what I would charge a job like this at but just curious to see what ballpark others say.
Basically it would be an estate agents website where people can browse properties for sale/rent in a certain area. There is an historic existing site that does but needs to be redesigned.
Properties can be sorted by min/max price/keywords and number of bedrooms. These properties can be viewed on a large zoomed out view on Google maps to give an idea of locations and also local schools in the area.
Each property can be viewed on a map and street view.
The properties are fed into a MySQL database from the estate agents property management system via a JSON request at set intervals, this is then stored in the DB.
There’s a content management system attached for editing content such as about the team and other non property pages totalling 10 pages max.
There’s also a system to generate a weekely PDF brochure from the properties for sale which is sent out via email, that’s all handled outside the site. The PDF is just generated via a script that then builds the PDF from the info provided into templates that already exist, the only requirement is to build the system that takes the info stored in the DB and output it to the PDF, hope that makes sense.
The site also requires code improvement from MySQL to MySQLI and has to be in a responsive design which the current site is not.
I think that covers it all, so what would you/your place quote that as a piece of work at?
