Project: Pet Grooming Website
You have a pet grooming business and want to create a new website. You want the website to have a video of your office, some pictures of your dog groomers, some testimonials from clients, a list of your prices, a description of your services, and a place to buy gift certificates or pre-pay for services. You want the site to use your color scheme, which is brown and black.
You decide to use a web development company. When you make the appointment, the receptionist tells you that you will meet with their project manager.
When you meet the project manager, she asks you for a good bit of detailed information. You decide that your budget will be $50,000. The project manager believes this will be a good budget because it will cost $20,000 for the web developer, $10,000 for the graphic artist, $5,000 for the photographer, $5,000 for the web hosting service, $5,000 to make the video, and $5,000 for various other expenses.
She explains that you will need to provide them with a list of clients that would be willing to participate as examples or provide testimonials. She warns you that they may expect to be paid for their participation and that there will need to be legal releases signed. She says that this will need to be done first.
Then, they will have the video company make the video and the photographer take the pictures. After this, the graphic artist can put together something for the web developer to create. All in all, the project should take about a month to complete.
