IMPORTANT UPDATE
Please take the time to at least answer the questions in the document attached to this bid because replies providing the answers to these questions will receive preference.
The succesful bidder will code other projects that [[login to view URL]][1] generate. We expect this to be in the region on 1-3 projects a month.
The basic concept is to have an off the shelf content management website that can be setup on many different domains from one point of control and when ever there is a patch or update then we can add it to one place and all domains are updated. We would like to be able to setup a new domain ourselves and add the new design (front end) to it. We have completed a fairly comprehensive design specification in WORD format which we will make available to everyone.
There are coders that we are particularly interested working with and they are listed in the document. If you are on the list this is because we were impressed with your previous response to our first project.
There is also an outline of the type of coder we would prefer to work with and some guidelines on your suitability for the project. Please read these because we are sure in our own mind of the type of character and work ethic we are looking for. This is to save you and us wasting time. We prefer the site to be in ASP because we have another site that needs changing in ASP and we would like one person or organisation to support both (we will negotiate price for the other project later) This is phase one of our business plan so there is much more work available in the medium to long term for the right candidate. We expect to get a LOT of questions on this and to save repeating ourselves we will answer all questions daily and then rebroadcast to all members who have bid.
