Budget:
$0-250
Status:

Job Type:

Description:



[First: I unfortunately may not respond individually to every response -- I will
review the details you provide, as well as your pricing and expected time to
completion, and if a possibility exists you will be retained, will contact you
for further information. Here are the details:]

This job is for a young female entrepreneur based in Vienna, who has her own
small translation services business, but does not have a great deal of money, so
pricing is a central consideration:

Translation services job (Vienna, Austria)

Here's an exchange I had with the client:

Original client email:

Sorry I havent gotten back to you about this any sooner...

I have something ... in mind like ... a title page, and introduction of
services and brief bio and maybe a list of clients and projects

Also I would like to have the site in three languages... [German, Hungarian,
English, I believe]

Now, what would you charge for a complete package like this?

I am not sure how soon I will be able to go through with this, but I would like
to have a rough idea of costs involved.

Thanks again!

--

[response mailed to client]

(revised from original)

Here's what I have in mind:

An index (main) page that will come up when people type in your domain name...
This will contain your logo [note to designers: I already may have something in
this regard, but indicate what your own logo pricing might be] – which I would
suggest (unlike the one you've seen) contain only your name and accompanying
images (no translation issues!). There will also be three links (see
attachment, for an example), each displaying the name of one of your chosen
languages (am I right that these are English, German and Hungarian?) and each
typed in that language's own alphabet [perhaps also a simple "Contact" link,
also in three languages, at the bottom of the page]. When any of the
language-specific site-entry links is clicked, the visitor will be brought to
the relevant language-specific "subsite", containing further information on you
and your services.

Some possibilities for this "subsite" are:

- General pricing information for your services for various job types/sizes

- A link to a quote request form, on which the client can submit information
relating to specifically what he requires. I'll need you to inform me of the
relevant details necessary to establish pricing on a job. Perhaps even some
kind of secure upload capability, allowing submission of actual client documents
for your review and allowing you to provide the client with more customized
pricing.

- A review page, as you suggested, of clients and projects, and even
testimonials from satisfied clients, should you have them or be able to obtain
them.

- An "About" page, with a photo of yourself (if you wish) and a brief bio
reviewing your background, education and skills.

- A "Contact Page", with phone, email address, mailing address and even, should
you desire it, the ability of customers (existing and potential) to chat with
you live online whenever they wish, should you be available [note to designers:
there's a free live chat client at http://www.boldchatplus.com/ -- feel free to
suggest others].

...

From you I'll need info including:

- Your bio and other information regarding your services (once the English
version is completed, I imagine the rest will be easy). Of course you'll need
to translate this text into the other two languages.

Should you be interested, we can begin some of the background work in the
coming week. Take your time to review the above, Andrea, and get back to me at
your convenience.

Give me an idea of what else you need to know to get together a quote for this
job -- again, at the best price you can possibly offer, as this young woman
doesn't have much money. I may provide you with a template, static or Flash,
for the site -- I asked the client today to take a look at boxedart.com.
Additional Info (Added 1/15/2005 at 14:38 EST)... Please only submit bids
for this job of $150 or lower.

A designer for this job may indeed have already been secured -- it looks very
promising. But do not be disheartened! Read on:

If the pricing and quality of your work, upon review, is indeed worthy of
further inquiry, I may be interested in retaining you, if not for this job, then
for others in the future, perhaps even the near future. So please submit your
bid for this project (again, if you can manage $150 or lower), let me take a
look at your portfolio, and if a possibility of a relationship between us
exists, I'll be in touch. :)
