Hi and thank you for your review and comments.
Re: Outdated Job Manager plugin – thanks for noticing. I've forwarded your comments to our developers.
Re: Rates. At ROSSUL we never work on an hourly basis for multiple reasons, we believe it is much easier for our clients to know exactly what they are going to pay for a solution to their problem. Therefore we do not quote based on how many screens need designing, or how much time we spend on crafting the solution. If the scope is not changed during the project the quote doesn't change.
Re: "Documentation preparing and process". The initial phase is the Research Phase that we need to discuss and set up success criteria and metrics, we need to research and create user personas to know who we design for,their goals, and mental models. We need to interview and analyze the responses of the stakeholders and ensure we are all on the same page with aligned expectation and goals. That includes all team members on our side too. The outcome of this phase: Goals and Metrics documents, Persona files, compiled stakeholder feedback, High-level functional specs, etc. Unfortunately, we cannot publish research documents publicly because of strict NDAs. We design commercial products and most of them are not available to the public. The financial industry is very sensitive in that respect as you know.
Re: Time allocation. Roughly, the research phase will take about 1/4 of the design time. 2/4 go into workflows and wireframing. 1/4 goes into skin design.
We'll be publishing more info as we receive more questions. Probably here or on Steemit.
Thanks again for your interest and questions.

Many thanks for this reply!
* re Rossul website - You are most welcome. Website deserves proper management with that kick-ass results!
* re Costs/prices - its very common nowadays in IT development to have fixed prices for packages where "extra features"/"Additional requests" would be added to invoice. Thanks for this explanation.
* re Discussion/Research - as being supported by Rudex who is active part of this community as gateway, 3rd party exchange, development team, UI FORK of BitShares and a paid block producer, i fail to see why you have to do research and collect funds from the blockchain for the knowledge already available right here on this forum (public opinions, feedback on UI), Rudex who is very reliable and rich resource of knowledge and not to mention github for UI team and all the issues opened there.
For that last one, i just think its waste of time and resources for already existing/built knowledge database, well known to people introduced you here.
Anyhow, since i'm managing worker who is similar to this one (just not competitive to UI team or yourself or anyone else, since we are doing Community Wallet), I had to do due diligence on you guys, in order to show it was with no bad intentions:
WE, as myself and Trusty team (who set me up as a proxy) give you our modest VOTE on your proposal, to support healthy and creative spirit of both teams and your workers!
Best of luck and one more time many thanks for your offer,
Milos DL Preocanin.
