Hi,

I am a recent addition to the great Startups family, and I'd very much like to first introduce myself. I am a small business owner from Birmingham as well as a recent business graduate. I'm also a big Fan of EBay and would love to shift my business online. However, because of the heavily deregulated and fast-moving web development market-I had in the past been wary to commit myself. Nevertheless, I am now in contact with a very good freelance E-commerce and web development company and in the process of negotiating a deal on a package.

The deal consists amongst other things of:

A Contemporary ecommerce website design, unlimited Web pages, Logo, Banners, Unlimited product displays, Shopping cart, Admin interface (to add, delete, edit products), My account, User registration, Flash Introduction, sounds, Search, engine optimization, Search engine submissions, Advertising banners/buttons, Contact us and Newsletter web forms Etc.

Now, All this costs Money - To be more precise it costs £500. But, it does not have to!

By employing the concept of Collective Purchasing Power the above Costs can be substantially reduced, i.e. I aim to invite likeminded people who are more than hungry for a complete advanced ecommerce development solution for the lowest of budgets like me, to share the platform on costs but also most most importantly; The enormous benefits that follow.

Delivery/Payment: According to the developer the project should take no more than 30 days, and regarding the payment, I have made a compromise with the developer on non-payment until product delivery – therefore – No up-front expenditure is necessary.

To keep costs as low as possible a Collective of 10 people is necessary, thus I propose to set the initial joining fee at £50 (for a Development worth £500)! If however, more people do decide to take this opportunity the fee will be significantly reduced.
That is the proposal in a nutshell.

Please Note: There is NO requirement of you to forfeit any funds. All interested parties will however be obliged to make an official purchase order. Fees/and or payments are to be made on completion of development.

If you are interested in taking part in this great opportunity; please e-mail your Name, line of occupation and a brief description about yourself to glncorp@hotmail.com

PS: My personal details will be forwarded as soon as contact has been established

I hope to hear from you soon
