I wasn't involved in the decision or else I would have persuaded them to use GeoMoose. The beta version website is up and running and my client would like to add additional functionality and also modify the symbology of some layers and since the additional functions were not outlined in the original proposal a new one must be agreed upon. One new function requested by my client was to modify the identify function to add a link to a PDF, specified within the shapefile. I just received the new modified proposal and the cost to change the identify function is $3,400, which works out to about 28 hours at $120 an hour. There were other modifications included in the new proposal and, in my opinion, all of them seemed high. Does that cost seem high to anyone else? Am I being unreasonable?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What would you charge a client to add a link to a PDF for the identify function if you had already setup a GeoMoose application?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What would you charge a client to setup a complete GeoMoose application with basic layers (buildings, roads, parcels, waterline) and some basic services (printing and identify), exclude web hosting fees?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I look at the bill for the entire project and think to myself I could have done the project for a third of what the other company is charging by using GeoMoose.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Just wondering.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ed<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
