There are two options available, subscription (paid by the business) or convenience fee (paid by the consumer) In general, most organizations pass along those costs to the consumer either directly or they build it into the list price of the ticket or rental. Has the City of Millcreek determined what type of pricing model to use? Additional information will help us select the best provider for this portion of the site. SUBSCRIPTION 9.

I'd also like to check if you're open to working with someone outside of the US, as I am UK based. With that in mind, would you be open to the proposal being sent by email rather than posted? If you can meet the criteria of the website, we are not opposed to working with a freelance designer. We are also not opposed to working with someone from another country. Our City Attorney requires a mailed copy of the proposal. We are accepting one digital copy as well to better showcase your work.
