Kindly ignore the bid amount & time-line, it is just a placeholder, as we still need to receive more detailed requirements from you to finalize it.

Dear Sir,
I have read your Project Description and can we talk about your website completion? I am VERY much interested in this website but before we move forward, I wanted to discuss everything to make sure that we are both on the same page and then finalize the total cost/payment terms & conditions to move forward. I totally understand that you had a bad experience but at the same time, we also have to see our terms. These kind of already developed websites definitely need a smart developer, because no matter how experience a developer is but they need to first understand the existing code/structure/database and then start further development. Above all, not to offend you but the current layout/design is really outdated, so I would like to suggest you for complete re-designing (If you wish to).
Look forward to hearing from you and talking to you further thru' Freelancer message board.
Regards,
YK

PS: Please drop me a message, if you're online at the moment, as I am online and would be happy to discuss further.
