Bidding
If you have done a site like this before, please bid and show us your portfolio.
If you have NOT done a site like this before, please do not bid. We will ignore all bids that do not have at least one similar site in portfolio.
Note
This is a relatively simple site, no shopping cart, just a searchable index. But the look and feel of the site matters to us. For example, the site must be user-friendly for a grandmother who needs big navigation buttons and clear instructions. Therefore, expect to have a lot of back-and-forth with us to get the theme and navigation "just right"
Therefore, you must be available to work and communicate in real-time between 9:00-13:00 New York time. If you will not be available during those hours, do not bid on this project. Good communication is essential to us, we cannot compromise on this, and we will cancel the project if we get a contractor who is unavailable at those times.
