I create websites and need to hire a guy (co-worker, actually, who is a wiz at this stuff) to create the registration/login technology behind the site. After description (below), he stated it would be a piece of cake to create. My question is, since I am contracting him to do this, how much should I expect to be paying him (hourly or flat fee)? Here is the scope: REGISTER 1. End-user would register online 2. Client receives email notification with registration info 3. Client checks manually whether/not this agent should be allowed access 4. Client accepts registration or rejects registration - either action should notify end-user via email LOG IN 1. End user logs in if accepted 2. End user fills out form (request for quote) online 3. Email notification of info is sent to client
Generally speaking, you get what you pay for with hourly rates, so it depends how much he charges. I'd estimate no more than 4 hours (absolute max) for a basic PHP system, plus another two depending on how complex the forms are if you want a pretty client-side JS form validation (with animations and AJAX if necessary).
