The information you sent though helpful was not enough for me to ride.
From my understanding of building you a functioning website, we are looking at 6-8 pages to include the following:
* Home
* About
* Services
* Design & Manufacture (requires your acceptance)
* Previous Projects (requires your acceptance)
* Future Projects(requires your acceptance)
* Points of Sale
* Contact us

The Service page will highlight services you offer, including, security alarm, camera etc.
* Since telecomm makes the most money for your firm, my plan is create page for your telecomm services readily visible on the top menu. The website will be CMS based as per your request and a simple to understand video link will be made available to your tech to become familiar with pix upload.

As a tax payer and a business owner, my fees are moderately streamlined to reflect cost of living here. I dont accept jobs that reflects my work as incomplete because of client's inability to pay for individual service that makes a design project whole & complete. It is my hope that a client either has the ability to do a service he/she is declining or has the intention of hiring a developer with lesser charge to complete the task. And the simple reason I dont is because I'm sold by my projects!!!



THE COST OF MY SERVICES ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Domain registration - $50 if name is available for purchase, cross purchasing could cost more if buying from someone who bought same name with the hope of selling for a profit.(Not applicable if client has a name already registered) However we do advise client on usefulness of a driven name. A driven name coupled with Web Marketing tools gives a website a functioning ability. We are not responsible if because of a dull name the website goes dull!

2. Mysql database configuration - $200 (Not applicable if client has server with Mysql )

3. PHP settings is free if working from my hosting server, if working with client's provided server - $100 to configure it for optimal operation.

4. General Web design and outlining with out scripting - $2000 (This price is based on my evaluation of designing a communication website for a small company)

5. Favicon trademark breeding and insertion - $350

6. Web Marketing (Includes: Google add-on, twitter add-on with a unique twitter design, LinkedIn add-on, Facebook add-on) $600 (Web Marketing firms charge up to $1500 for their services) As It is useless to stock goods with out having buyers so it is to build a website without web marketing for users to find out what it is about.

7. Web Scripting Service - $800 (Not applicable if client has scripted content readily available)

8. Logo design - $300 ( Not applicable if client has logo saved in a file and ready for upload)

9. Graphic Outline of company's name or front name - $200

Choose the service you want and compute it to know what it will cost you and post it for review.

If any area(s) require clarity pls ask me!!!!


Hopefully other in-house developers will also submit their estimate. This does not necessarily mean there is a job, but can be used as a learning process. That is my take, what's yours?

Let me try to help AjanleKoko on this one, Smiley
It seems that you are interested in the core data network, that is a good area, that's where I also specialise

What you need to know is why telcos need an IP/MPLS core. Do you know why?
Any serious service provider that provisions VPNs for its subscribers should use an IP/MPLS core network for several reasons. If you do not know why, find out. Tongue

I know cyberspace has an IP/MPLS core. I think Globacom as well, at least they were planning on having one last I heard, this was about 2 years ago.

Hope to help

Thanks alot woodrose.

I understand the applications of MPLS on data networks. What i need to know is how much mobile telco are embracing the technology in their networks.

A complete developer needs to be well rounded.
He/she needs to be able to plan, script, design, and have marketing & advertising abilities.
It could be a web design companies with above named services, though all of the above mentioned services has to be paid for by the client. It is easier getting a quote from one source than visiting different source for each service.
You need a developer with hands-on-the-job, one who knows what you want and how to incorporated ideas based on past hand-on-the job. For example. Someone that has experience on govt sites cant give you ideas on social networking site rather that designer will stiff necked you website and it will lack the kind of excitement that social net-workers crave.
That is why you need to look at each content of every designer and see which will suit your purpose.

I am surprised that everyone is indicating ability but no one has asked you about the purpose of your website and which area e.g social networking, marketing website, NGO, NP(non profit), educational, relationships etc. I know sometimes the situation back home can put people in a hasty mood and make them sound like they don't know what they are saying when infact the do!, but as professionals designers should know it is not an easy job to plan design, script and build a functioning website.

My first questions to you would be:
1. Whats the purpose of your intended website?
2. Will your website receive any form of payment?
3. Will it have membership ability?
4. Do u have a specific audience or target people?
5. Do u have a logo for your website? or will have have to brain storm a logo for you with your input?
6. Have you registered a name for your website?? Name registry is undoubtedly one of the most important part of a website if you are working with a limited advertising budget. A website name should be one that locks into the mind of your clients never to be forgotten. It should be easy to remember. In my previous hand-on-the-job I have had to change the website name for three clients here in America, Though they were reluctant at first but after informing them they jumped on it. Do you know why some investors just buy up names on registry and offer them for resale?? some web names posted for resale sale for as much as $5000 because they are reflective names that locks in the human minds. Now item #6 belongs to marketing and advertising department. But! if a developer doesn't have a marketing capability how will he/she know?

*Adds-on are very important on websites, an average website should have at least 3 adds-on link. Its a form of Marketing and helps you to be easily located either through search engines or on the add-on web portal.Web development is huge and the knowledge is not a stagnant one rather a continual process.

Although most designer here are interesting, some are work in progress which is good, I have seen 1 or 2 with no favicon (favorable icon) A favicon is very important in a website, it gives site credibility and trade mark.

I will advise you to post the purpose of your website if possible the name an ask individual designer to send you a quote, including a work plan. The purpose will help me plan for pricing and give me an idea of how intense the work will be.

While pricing is important you should concentrated more on what you can get from a designer rather than what he/she is charging, that way you can be sure of getting the one of the better head for your web project.

Hey b-_-d,
What do you have in mind?  I am really busy these days but if the project is 'interesting' enough, I guess I will be able to squeeze out some time for this.
You are talking about asterisk, right?

The Arab girl i am holding in the pix is Kenyan and and her name is Salma (sounds more like obama) . So i totally agree with you that Obama is not a black man. If US is serious about letting a back man rule then he should really be a black man

Samobi:


And here is YOUR chance RASCIST SLAVE (WITH NO ORIGIN OR DESTINATION), COTTON PICKER, MISEDUCATED NEGRO, SHAMELESS APE WHOM WHITE AMERICA (IN THE FORM OF COPS) WOULD GUN DOWN AT EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY to convince me why you will shamelessly spend so much time on a Nigerian forum that was created by a Nigerian who lives in Nigeria to insult Nigerians on their forum with your cancer infested tongue/fingers. Surely, Since Nigerians are not worthy of a mention, you can use your time more productively being an active member of an akata forum, don't you think? Besides, you are a nobody and will remain a nobody till the day you die so why should anyone even bother trying to convince you? While you damn SLAVE continue to willow in your pool of hate ON CYBERSPACE, the biological son of an African man became president of your country. If Obama had slave blood flowing in his veins, you know your cousin whitey would not have voted for him to be in office. Just ask previous akata presidential contenders like Jesse Jackson and the other one with fried hair, Al sharpton

Hi Ajanlekoko/fellow posters,
I really appreciate this topic you've all started and your contributions have been most helpful. I'm a graduate of Elect/Elect Engineering and posses numerous IT certifications ranging from CCNA, CWNA, CCNP and others, i presently work for one of the commercial banks doing IT support which i really don't enjoy so each day i find myself coming back from work pissed. Pls don't get me wrong am really grateful to God for the job, but my challenge is how do i get out of hardware/user support and move into core networks and engineering proper, i mean Telco and ISP's ?? Am presently applying for a masters in communications engineering but i know in this industry, certificates don't get u d job experience does. So am really skeptical about going. So Sir as a mentor and friend, how can u help or advise me on the next line of action.

Thanks!
