Hi.. Not too sure how to go about getting those figures Maureen, but the plan seems to be to contract out the development to a 3rd party. (Hence they want to do it in .NET - but I am sending out RFPs to CF houses that I've come across for comparison.) The problem is that I'm not at all familiar with .NET [did some front end stuff, in previous job, but no back end programming] and I'm the one who would need to keep the site running, make changes, modification and expansions etc - before going back to the 3rd party for such assistance (=$$$)
By, keeping it in CF I at least have familiarity with the platform and can learn more without having to start from scratch in a new environment and language (I'm guessing it would be c#). Not to mention getting me trained etc. Any advise on figuring those costs is appreciated!
