Development - Online Project

[srclgic]

I am developing an online business using FilemakerPro as the platform for a database I plan to offer to selected clients. I'll be contracting the development work out to a qualified developer but I want to make sure the quotes I receive are fair and reasonable. Please advise if you have suggestions on how I might best accomplish this, or the best route to take in the development process. Thx.

Well it's fairly easy.

Prepare a document outlining in detail the requirements of the database, then once you've done that ask yourself the question - what is this worth to me.

Then, give this to a few different developers and request quotes as well as estimated deadlines.

Appreciate your perspectives. I've done that with one developer but am interested in gaining an understanding of the rates that developers charge to ensure I'm not being overcharged.
