A local credit union that my sister works for wants me to redesign there html template built website with something a little nicer. I evaluated the site and gave them a list of things that includes:
SCOPE OF SERVICES
1. Design Changes
A. Redesign layout of all pages to provide uniformity and flow, plus additional changes to pages.
a. All Pages
i. Create scrolling image in place of main image for marketing
b. Home Page
i. Provide more white space for marketing and news details
c. Subpages
i. All Subpages (This is the only noticeable made to subpages unless specifically noted)
1. Redesign layout to make all subpages resemble the home page layout
ii. About Us
1. Place about us and mission statement on initial “About Us” page
2. Location and Hours
a. Add Google Map
b. Add holiday hours
3. Membership Criteria
a. Create the Membership Application
i. Create storage table in SQL database for viewing of applications
iii. News
1. Create a Newsletter sign up form
iv. Contact Us
1. Redesign the contact us form to store the messages in the database as well as sending an email.
B. Design and build admin page to allow full control of website updating to owners and their selected employees
a. The admin page is username and password protected
b. The admin page will allow the following changes to be made
i. Add and remove pictures from the scrolling image on the home page
ii. Add news and updates to the home page
iii. Edit any existing text on any of the current pages
iv. Review and Approve/Deny member applications
v. Receive messages from the “Contact Us “ page
vi. Update dynamic data
1. Interest Rates
2. Promotions
3. Account Types
vii. Create other admin accounts
viii. View logs of admin activity
ix. View logs daily, weekly, and monthly site hits
C. Design and build SQL database to store information
a. Structured Query Language
b. Database hosted on your website provider
c. Database is used to store information that the redesigned website will retrieve and display on the site
d. Database information will be editable through the admin panel
D. Rebuild of all HTML files to PHP
a. PHP provides dynamics that html can not
b. PHP is used to retrieve information from the SQL database
c. PHP provides use of variables in links which hides directory structure and provides more security
2. Additional Suggestions (but not mandatory for redesign)
a. Facebook Insights and Meta Tags
i. Implementing Facebook into the website can greatly increase the number of hits the site will receive daily.
ii. Facebook provides meta tags for the Facebook application created for your site
1. These meta tags allow the display of like buttons on the website
a. The like buttons are shared on users Facebook pages which in turn shares the site with any friends that see it on their wall
b. White space available to partners, affiliates, and others who may pay to advertise on the website
i. The home page may have enough space left after the final design that will allow you to lease the space for a set amount of time and provide advertisement for local businesses
3. Training, Implementation and Testing
A. Testing
a. All design and testing of the website will be conducted on my system with a private hosted database
b. The current website will not be effected during the testing phase
B. Implementation
a. When all discrepancies in the programming are clear, the web site will be implemented in a single upload on a preselected date
b. Lifetime support will be available for admin support and for support of problems that may occur within the system.
C. Training
a. Training for the admin panel will be provided around the implementation time
b. Outline for admin panel use will also be provided.
That is copied directly out of the proposal letter I gave them.
I don't have to worry about online banking or anything because that is handled by a third party.
What should I charge for this project? I really have no idea. Usually when I do web work for people its on a trade of goods, and usually isn't this in depth.
