Dear Sir,
I have read your Project description but Freelancer website is huge, as they have load of features, so if you can provide us custom list of features, we can then surely revise our estimate, otherwise similar website to Freelancer cannot be done in US $3,000, which is your budget set on Freelancer website.
Our current bid is not our actual bid but just a placeholder to submit the proposal & start our communication, because without entering any amount, we cannot submit the bid. Once you respond me, we can then discuss about the total cost, time-line & payment terms to move forward.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
YK
