Based on some feedback received and personal thoughts I have slightly modified the below sections. 1. Requirements description section. 2. Technologies to be used section. 3. Requirements documentation attachment(changed Excel file only). To explain briefly what has changed: 1. Requirements description section. Additional comment: Please mention if you can provide free post-implementation support and for how long. If you can provide the same at a price, in your reply comment mention the break up of the development and support costs. 2. Technologies to be used section. Additional comment: Please mention the technologies you intend to develop this website in and also the reason for using the same. 3. Requirements documentation attachment(changed Excel file only). Initial document contained on e sheet showing the page layout. This has now been renamed to "old". There is a sheet called "Changes" - please read the legends at the top of the sheet to understand the changes. Lastly there is the sheet titled "New" which gives the final specification. In the "New" sheet I have endeavoured to put the items on the left side of the page into respective sections. Since the required functionalities have been reduced quite some bit, I am sure most of you can consider submitting a lower bid compared to before. I urge the people who have not yet posted a bid to so as it will aid my short-listing process. If you are open to negotiations please do mention that also very clearly. I wish to decide the coder within a weeks time and get the work underway so please hurry. Appreciate your response. Thanks in advance. ## Platform Not specific about technologies but prefer something that is industry standard, supported by most webhosts, stable, easy to maintain and technology that will stay. Open to suggestions. Please mention the technologies you intend to develop this website in and also the reason for using the same.
