First you have to tell us your budget! You should always have a budget. But also be prepared to stretch that budget

Otherwise, the spec is pretty well written. Some of the finer details will probably come out as the project progresses, but this is a good starting point :)

I think you should always have a budget, but that it is probably unwise to reveal that budget.

I certainly don't expect to pay a few hundred bucks for this. The spec is clear, and I'll accept a reasonable bid, either for the project or at an hourly rate with an estimate.
