This project is to develop a small, business planning program product in C++ or VB. Product will need to control the display of flash movies, prompt the user with questions and collect their answers.
Following the collection of their answers, the program should allow the user to perform drag-and-drop operations to organize their answers. I have a prototype of that as well.
Output of the product will be an RTF-formatted document.
Program will also need some kind of unlocking / registration mechanism that will enable the full product after downloading the demo version.
In addition to your quote, please describe your previous experience in developing shareware or program products and your hourly rate for any follow-on work.
I am a technical, product marketing pro but not a coder. Therefore, I am looking for an experienced, senior developer with a successful track record showing that:
1. They can think like an end-user while designing for ease of use,
2. They can assist in making high-level design decisions,
3. They take future maintainability into account during design,
4. They perform extensive testing with scenarios that include all of the dumb mistakes that users are likely to make.
I will provide the UI in a PSD file. I will also provide the flash movies. Data collection questions and user's answers would occur in the bottom box.
Coder will need to agree to NDA before beginning project and should have a high bandwidth internet connection for exchanging files.
