The Audience Business seeks digital agency for website development
The Audience Business seeks digital agency for website developmentThe Audience Business, which aims to develop audiences for arts, has issued a tender to develop a new b2b website.
The client is looking to appoint an agency to develop an audience focussed site which will act as a hub of activity for the cultural sector in Edinburgh as it undertakes a full review of the organisation.
With a budget of £10,000 the completed site will develop TAB’s engagement with subscribers and integrate with its client relationship management system while also providing better networking opportunities for the subscribers as well and stimulate collaboration.
Submissions will be taken until Friday 12 February with the activity set to run from the beginning of March until the middle of May with a test site scheduled to run from 1 April.
The successful agency will work alongside TAB’s web development team which will also assess applications.

£10,000... and a tender to boot!
You're having a laugh?
I hope there are no agencies out there who need this money so much that they have to go through the stupidity of a beauty parade for what is, lets face is it, a pathetic budget for any half decent website, let alone one that "will develop TAB’s engagement with subscribers and integrate with its client relationship management system while also providing better networking opportunities for the subscribers as well and stimulate collaboration."
Count fuse8 out!
Guys this is standard now, they want you to pitch for £2k budget and then a tight dead line. easy way to stop this is to charge for pitches!!!
Why are people complaining? If you don't like the deadline and you don't think the budget makes it worth going for...then don't!
Don't moan about it though just because you don't fancy the work. Good luck to those who do though.

Website's just like a brochure innit...
Actually, is this just for the design work as TAB have their own web team and can subsequently take the development and that nasty deadline on?
I did a website for my mate for £150 ? I'll do it for 10k, although I will need 5k up front, Ibiza here I come wwoohhoo, the glory days are back!
I don't get some of these comments. If you don't want the work, don't pitch.
Depends on what they want for the money surely?
A one-man band could put a website together in two months depending on what's required. Two months work for 10 grand. What's your problem with this exactly?
What's stopping a one-man designer and developer pitching or a couple of freelancers teaming up? Lower overheads = lower fee for the client = everyone happy. It's the future - sorry large bloated agencies, but why should a client pay for your table tennis tables and team days out when a guy working out of a home office can do just as good a job on smaller projects?
'team days out' haha love it
Anon: Fri 15 Jan 2010 18:22, I paraphrase a bit here, but you're asserting that "a one-man designer and developer pitching or a couple of freelancers teaming up...can do just as good a job as a large bloated agency". If they have the required design, search engine marketing, strategic, project management, email, copywriting and proofreading skills, they can. If they can just design and build a website, they can't.
You get what you pay for.
