What would you charge to design & develop a site like this?
- vaxorcist0
Flash site pricing is so much more of a guess than HTML/JS... because people may demand filmmaker like techniques and then change mind once you do it...
If the client has 3d renders of the products, like the box with knobs, that changes alot... if you have to video-shoot each movement, that's your own or is it part of the supplied media? If the client supplies drably lit stuff, do you reshoot?
ugh.... $20k?!?
- e-wo0
Let's say without the 3d modeling. So no product turnovers, just face on views with turnable knobs - which can come from polished up photos.

Demoing pages seem fairly complex. One of the first times I've seen a use for flash in a while.
- e-wo0
Agreed. Anyone with more thoughts on $?
- moldero0
no 3d models product turnover stuff, ide charge $15-$20k

there's flash in this site, but i wouldn't call it a flash site.
- rson0
I would not quote it as a flash site. But with the 3D elements supplied. 25-30K
- eryx0
I think those are pretty conservative.
not only do you have 3d elements but you also have:
sign up section that most likely has a news letter element
a forum that needs to be maintained and monitored
there is also a question of the CMS for the client which has to be thought of.
All the videos that have to be created
the huge interactive flash map.
it also is running jqueryI would say 30k-50k
- monNom0
No way that is more than 50hrs work [minus the 3d]. pricing would depend on the studio/freelancer's rate.
- airey0
i'd have said around 10k + if they want the 3d modelling. the argument could be made that the pedals could be done within flash using a photoshoped version, above view only.
- detritus0
30-50k? Really?
If that's the case, I'm slightly regretting getting out of web design...
I'm more along monNom and Airey's line of thinking here. Absolute-tops 5k programming charges, 5k design (sans real 3d, faking a la Airey's hint) and if was feeling cheeky, another 5k for overheads.
But hey, as I say - I don't do this crack any more, so what do I know?
- quack0
detrius, your scope forgets planning and other social implementations
- but 50k is ludacrisp!quack
- Planning? That's 'overheads'. I literally have no idea what 'social implementations' means.detritus
- It's a pretty basic, paint-by- numbers site though, eh?detritus
- Everything off the shelf - the forum, the schmancy 3d interface - i'd wager the CMS and newslettering too.detritus
- in all honesty, i haven't clicked the reference linkquack
- but how can planning be overhead. it happens first.quack
- i only build custom front and backends though, no reselling of other warez to my clientsquack
- airey0
for 50k i could plan a complete military governmental coup plus the first 5 years of the new government. it's only a fucking website ffs.
- detritus0
Ah.
I just noticed - it's ASP.
Aye, 50k.
- wasnt the question about doing this kind of site in flash though, not an asp version like the example?airey
- does flash have a self contained cms or will one need made? i'm sure there are flash sites operating off asp dataquack
- you need to bolt one on. there's quite a few now, some xml and some visual. not bad.airey
- ASP = Awfully Slow Project... things always take 3x as long....vaxorcist

you will be surprised on how much some sites cost then, but it really all comes down to "who is buying" and "who is selling".And usually production/ design is not the bulk of it, there are overheads, fancy lunch meetings, copyrighters, conference calls, a team of developers, designers and other staff dedicated to that project, testers, more meetings, client's wife, etc
- ukit0
You can overthrow a government and run it for less than 10k/ year?
Amazing.
- airey0
no but i can do the planning. which is why i said planning. i thought it was obvious when i said 'plan'. plan = planning. you know, like 'to plan'.
- ukit0
So basically you'll sit around and think about overthrowing the government for 50k? The website now looks like a bargain.
- airey0
i'll plan the whole thing for someone to implement for 50k.
obviously i'd not hang around cause if i planned it it won't work and then the government would probably come looking for the planners. the failed military would probably come around asking a few questions also. basically i'd give them a plan and run for the hills so i guess the 50k probably isn't enough unless i'm hiding out in cuba which would be crazy cause i cant speak german at all.
- identity0
hell - let's make it 100K while we're at it...
what the hell right?...no wonder people don't have flash sites anymore...
- or everyone here is constantly here and without clients.airey
