Scope up the project with the client, outlining all the functionality. Then
estimate how many days it will take you to build. Multiply by your day rate.
Add a 'project management' fee of 20%. See what you get.
$3500 US sounds very very low to me. My instinct is that this is certainly a
£10k - £15k project.
Somewhere about there's an article by Ben Forta on why to use CF and I seem
to remember a similar article by Simon Horwith too. Try a Google.

Subject: Client asked me: "Why you use coldfusion?"
Hi: Two days before I was talking about a project with a client. He wants a
portal_like website that has at least 8 seperated Auction parts and some
message boards and a complete Administration pannel. It has at least 18
dynamic parts (like; News, Job finder, Seminar Alerts ...) that the admin
pannel controls. Plus 5 different templates for the parts and a Logo and
flash intro. The price I suggested in the proforma invoice was about 3500$.
Is the price fair? Please send me your idea about the price of such a
website.
The client asked me "why are you using Coldfusion and why don't you use
ASP.Net or PHP?". Can you please send me a link that compared the major
server side technologies that I show the client the big advantages of
Coldfusion compared to others.
Thanks
Ali
