Additional information submitted: 08192004 at 13:09 EDT: So far, the bids have been coming in higher than we expected. In order to help us prioritize various portions of this project, we ask that you submit a breakdown of your bid price per for each section of the project, as follows:1)Enhance the existing website cosmetically and make pages load more efficiently2) CREATE VIRTUAL DOMAINS FOR KEY TOPICAL PAGES3) PUBLISH SITE IN PROGRESS TO NEWORLEANS.INFO4) IMPLEMENT SHOPPING CART ECOMMERCE SOLUTION5) Design a virtual realitylike interface for shoppingThe price breakdown will help us prioritize various items and we may decide to leave some out for some future date for example, its our impression that the last item (#5) may be the most time consuming and adding much to the overall cost. If so, we can leave this out for some future time.Thanks Additional files submitted: New Orleans Statement of Work.doc
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
