Description
Experience Level: Expert
I have a project for a small business owner and, unfortunately, I need to outsource it as I currently have an overflow (I'm project managing it). You must have two years of LAMP (PHP, MySQL, etc.) experience, and excellent/perfect writing and English skills (not looking for an offshore developer). Payment terms are 50% down before work commences and the other 50% upon completion of the project. Post-launch, on-going support will be paid on a monthly basis, after services are rendered. (Should not be a lot of hours on a monthly basis.) This work is expected to be part-time and remote.
In your response, please provide the number of hours and the estimated cost for each of the following deliverables. Then, provide a final and complete quote for the whole one-time project below, and a monthly amount for the follow-up support, also described below. This information is important to discern how serious/credible you are and will help to determine whether or not the project will be completed in one or multiple phases.
ONE-TIME PROJECT
----------------
Strategy:
* Write a 3 page competitive analysis of four to five competing websites, including traffic and SWOT (strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats)
* Implement Google and Bing Site Maps, setup webmaster tools and assess indexing of Website, then implement Google Analytics and review traffic analysis. Write 3 page report on recommendations.
* Write a 1 page report of recommendations on the small business's social media presence.
* Keyword analysis to determine top 10 keyword phrase combinations to target and identify those that have more or less competition. Prepare a 1-page report of recommendations.
* Identify most cost-effective and highest-performing PPC ads for a small budget of $100 a month. Prepare a 1-page report of recommendations.
Content:
* Create a sitemap for a website of about 12 pages, plus five microsites of 2 pages each.
* Analyze and rewrite content of all Web properties for SEO, targeted keywords, and for target audience (emotional appeal, clearer language, etc.).
Design:
Assume that you would work with a designer if you're not a designer yourself and include the costs. Not interested in "canned templates"--which are very easy to spot. The following deliverables are all intended to "refresh" the business's online presence.
* For a website of about 12 pages, generate 2 to 3 design comps. Design comps should be "trendy" but can be simple; this is a small business.
* Generate 2 design comps for a WordPress blog (can be based on an existing theme, but show how it would look customized).
* For five micro-sites, generate a single design comp for each. Micro-sites (or campaign sites) should be unique but have a unifying theme. Again, these are simple designs.
* Generate a simple design comp for an e-mail template.
Blog Development:
* Deploy WordPress blog (on my Web server)
* Implement SEO-related WordPress plugins
* Create custom theme and integrate
Website Development:
* Develop and deploy Joomla website (on my Web server)
* Ensure that the site conforms to SEO best practices
* Implement SEO-related Joomla plugins
* Create custom theme and integrate
* Implement testimonials plugin
* Implement a contact plugin (for "Free consultation") with a CAPTCHA
* Implement a Google Maps plugin for business directions.
* Integrate Twitter feed on home page
Online Calculator:
* Develop a shareable widget/calculator that tells customers whether they qualify for business programs and points users to website. Just a rough guess should be fine, I'll have more details later. This is intended to be really simple, as it's just for driving traffic, but it could consist of about a dozen questions for someone to answer, and probably two pages.
Setup virtual office:
* Implement CRM software (ideally open-source) AND implement billing/invoicing plugin into CRM software
* Implement a document repository (ideally open-source)
* Help client setup Google Apps, Box, and Adobe Connect (virtual meetings)
FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT
-----------------
This will be included in a contract, but paid on a monthly basis for one year, at a fixed cost, after services are rendered. Please provide an approximate number of hours spent per month for each of the following tasks.
* Link building to increase traffic to site
* Monitoring of Google Analytics and prepare 1 page report on traffic.
* Monitoring social media presence and online mentions and prepare 1 page report.
* Managing PPC Ads and prepare 1 page report on effectiveness of advertising.
* Make minor Website changes (minor content updates, bug fixes) as requested
* Respond to telephone calls from small business owner (2-3 each month) on how to use CMS.
* Write and post 3 blog articles each month
What I'm looking to pay: I'm only interested in paying a fixed rate for the project. Of course, the final estimate would be based on the number of hours you think it will take for each deliverable and your base hourly rate, which depends on your experience and the market. However, keep in mind that this is for a MICRO/SMALL business owner. You would work with me on a contract/corp-to-corp basis, so ideally you would have a legal company, but I'm only interested in a solo developer, NOT an entire team. I want to see your resume, NOT your website or marketing materials. If this project goes well, then you might be considered for other small projects in the future, on an as-needed basis.
Lastly, I know that the information above does not capture everything; I'm just looking for an estimate. So, please, spare me the "I need more information"; ranges are perfectly acceptable. Sorry, but if your response does not contain all of the pertinent information I'm asking for, I may not follow up with a response. Thanks for understanding!
