Hi Monks,

I have been asked to give a quotation for an online ticketing system to be used for booking of tour buses. I'm curious. How do you go about quoting a price for coding an entire site? Or for any coding work for that matter. How factors do you consider?

Relatedly, when do you consider the entire project "completed"? There're bound to be bugs that will only be uncovered when the system is being put to use, so there has got to be a certain maintenance period. How long is this going to be?

Thanks in advance for sharing :)
