Development

The software can be written as a 32-bit app with Microsoft's Visual C++ v6 or v7.
Our working for you does not require an exclusive working relationship (we may work for other clients).
The project can be accomplished in a reasonably short time (weeks or months, not years).
All proposal requirements can be met in advance of our starting the project.

This is what Smaller Animals Software considers a proposal :

Describe the operation of the program / component.
Provide sketches or mock-ups of any interface elements that the software will use.
Describe how the software will be used.
Describe what the software will be used for.
Describe the typical user (developer, expert user, casual, beginner, etc.).

These are the items that must be specified before the project can be started, (as applicable) :

Detailed description of anticipated software use (ie. "what happens if the user does this?")
Architecture or design requirements
User interface and cosmetic requirements
Speed or memory requirements
System requirements
Language requirements
Interface specifications for discrete components, if applicable (DLLs, ActiveX controls, etc.)

We reserve the right to accept or reject projects without explanation.
Our hourly rates are relatively low. But as they are negotiable, we will only discuss money once we have discussed a project proposal.
Once the project is started, changes to specifications or requirements can be considered a change in contract.
Reasonable bug fixes will be performed free-of-charge. "Reasonable" means that the bug prevents the software from operating as specified in the proposal.
Projects in these fields will be considerably easier for us (and therefore cheaper for you) than projects in some other fields :
- 2D Image Processing
- Encryption
- HTML
- ...but this list is growing all the time - feel free to ask, even if you don't see it on the list!
Exceptionally short schedules may result in higher hourly rates.
