Hi Liz
I used to work as an Intranet web developer. Sorry, but I have no real
formula or guidelines that will help with estimation. BUT, one thing I
discovered was that for very little money, you can purchase web site
templates. Just Google for them. Here's a link to get you started:
If you are like me, you understand the mechanics of the structure but
have issues with the design bit. These can give you a very professional
look and feel that has a "wow factor". Additionally (and this one was an
excellent benefit to me) you can use them to get up and running in a
real hurry. This helps tremendously when you are under the gun from a
time perspective.
Hopefully this helps... Rick :)
