Need help with an estimate (time & cost)

How much would you charge and how long would it take to program a HTML site in PHP that looks and functions almost identical to newstoday.com? What would the same estimates be for a Flash MX interface?

There will be 3 types of users:
1. users who do not have to log in. They may post to the forum without logging on (similar to the right side of the newstoday.com site).
2. users who log in to access a clipboard (still in the works and not a feature on newstoday.com).
3. Admin users who manage sections similar to those located on the left side of newstoday.com. They would update content through a CMS.

This project is in the early stages of design, and may never actually be produced. However, if it moves forward, I may need some help and be willing to pay.

Using flash MX, I would expect sami's quote to increase a little.

Indeed. I don't know Flash so that isn't included in my estimate. :wink:

Thanks for the quotes. Good to get a rough idea of both cost and time. I will post some screenshots of the designs along with specs soon.

Sami and Tim, do you have a portfolio site or links to sites you've worked on.

Thanks again,
Mike

I would charge $2000 and have it completed within two weeks (not including Flash stuff, of course.. I only use Notepad :P). EDIT - Actually probably a few days earlier after looking it over more. This will come with a great Admin CP and any extra features you wish to have.
