Thanks for the question.

R. H. on 01/07/2009 01:23 amless than £250 are you having a laugh?
PPH should get a grip and not allow such ridiculous bids. All they are doing is bringing the standard of the whole industry down.
G. P. on 01/07/2009 01:30 amAs all e-commerce systems work off a database and back-end code, you will be obliged to "fold" your eventual design into the e-commerce system's template.
Whether your initial design is done on Apple, PC, or even the back of a cigarette pack, the REAL question is what CM system do you intend to use? ... php + mySQL , ASP + MSSQL , CFM , PERL , ???
G. P. on 01/07/2009 01:41 amWhile I agree with Ross that this bid is low, I do not feel that it is right to post criticism about project pricing here. If the contractor is offering a price too low for you, just don't bid on it.
S. B. on 01/07/2009 05:40 amAny Recommendations with regards to Content Management (CM)
and scripting languages may be incorporated into the bid proposal.
G. P. on 01/07/2009 14:07 pmTypically for e-commerce projects, the desired design is done using Adobe CS, with the design sliced to \\\\
G. P. on 01/07/2009 14:11 pmPrevious message truncated for some reason... To continue. Initial design is sliced into the template system of a cart CM program. Depending on the degree of work required, this can be time-consuming and complicated - hence the reluctance of people to bid. I have clients who also want "champagne" results on "lemonade" money - so I get them set up on a shopping cart, and provide good, but basic design elements. They focus on sales and income, and as the cash comes in, more is invested in the site. This is the beauty of the WWW... continuous improvement is relatively easy. I have scores of examples of this approach working very well.
Here are some practical tips on staying safe
- Never pay any money to Clients and or provide sensitive details like your Bank information, Credit Card or Passwords
- Never accept a Job if you have been directed away from PeoplePerHour to another website
- Be cautious when providing your personal contact details (email, telephone number, instant message ID etc) before your Bid is accepted
- If you have been asked to send samples, put a watermark on them or send low resolution examples to avoid being exposed and not getting paid
- Don’t start work before your Bid is accepted and your Escrow deposit is made
- Keep your Escrow account topped up and ensure that you use the Private Message Board to track all pertinent details about the Job e.g. timelines, deliverables etc
- Before you supply final works to Clients, ensure you have adequate funds in Escrow
Remember: if something looks too good to be true, it probably is!
