We need a website designed for a small consulting business. It is mostly information on services and products, with some links to outside reference materials. There is a product cataolgue, but no web commerce is needed at this time. The web site will need to include a couple of forms that visitors can generate from the catalogue. I estimate it to be no more than 10 to 15 total pages including pictures etc.
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.
