BioQuest International:
Exhibit A - Budget and Scope of Work for Website Development
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Budget and Scope of Work for Website Development is entered into by and
between xxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc. d/b/a ccgenesis ("ccgenesis") and BioQuest
International, Inc. ("Client") as of July ___, 2001 and is hereby incorporated
into and made part of that certain Engagement Letter (together with this Budget
and Scope of Work for Website Development and the exhibits to the Engagement
Letter, the "Engagement Letter") between the Parties dated the date hereof.
ccgenesis and Client are sometimes referred to herein singly as a "Party" or
collectively as the "Parties." Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Engagement Letter.
Project Scope
The overall scope we propose includes:
Phase I - Establish Base Web Presence
In this phase we will launch the site. Our emphasis will be on time to
market and leveraging as much of the currently developed code as
possible. One significant step we will be taking in the first phase is
to build the site on a database. We do not build static sites. The site
we launch in phase I will be the foundation of the future. And although
the site may change dramatically and the graphic design may be
completely overhauled, the database and foundation of the site will
remain. This means that from the first day you will have the ability to
maintain the information on the site without calling us to do
development. We feel this is a very important step considering the
development phase of your business that you are in and the dynamic
nature of the business model and partnerships at this point in your
development.
Scope of phase I includes:
o Web-based tools for BioQuest International personnel to manage all site
information, including About Us information, partners and affiliates,
contact information, and product and service information.
o Graphic design will leverage the existing design. We will advocate
certain changes to the design because of usability, navigation, and
information placement, but we will for the most part use the existing
look and feel.
o The About Us section of the site will be built as defined in the RFP
(section 1, pp 4-5). The HumanClick/LivePerson link will not be
implemented in this phase.
o Bios for BioQuest Partners/Affiliates will be supported as defined in
section 2, p 5.
o Contact Us will be supported as defined in the RFP in section 3, p 5.
E-mail will be supported as defined in this section.
o The BioQuest Products and the BioQuest Services sections are difficult
to estimate based on the information contained in the RFP and the
information in the development site. The RFP is straightforward, but we
could not find anything in the development site that supported the
functionality defined in the RFP. We will plan on building template
pages for both products and services, and content management tools to
support both. But the functionality will be somewhat generic until you
can provide clearer direction.
o The Alternative Medicine News section is even harder to decipher from
the development site. We have built many content management sites to
support news articles and can easily do it for BioQuest. We will plan
on supporting basic article types for press releases, articles,
newsletters, and What's New.
o The Investor Section (section 7, p 7) will be supported.
o The Site Map (section 8, p 7) is not necessary for the simplicity of
phase I. We would advise eliminating it, if only temporarily, to help
reach the aggressive launch date.
o The Registration (section 9, p 7) will be supported.
o The newsletter that is referred to in the RFP will not be supported
through our code and development in phase I. We will collect
registration information, but newsletter support is not included.

Graphic Design
ccgenesis will do all graphic design. The initial design will allow for future
enhancements without major revision to the design. A professional design is
essential to a successful web initiative. Your online brand should convey a
professional look and feel, driving consumer confidence. The objective will be
to make navigation simple and graphically portray your brand online.
Software
The web site will be launched with the following core technologies:
o PHP - an open source solution with no licensing fees. PHP is a
server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.
o PostgreSQL - an open source object relational database management
system, with no licensing fees o Webalyzer - a Web site traffic trend
analysis tool
Tracking
CcGenesis will assist BioQuest in their marketing efforts by placing any and all
"tags" necessary for tracking advertising effectiveness.
Acceptance
Unless otherwise set forth, acceptance of the deliverables shall be deemed to
have occurred on the earlier to occur of the date that (1) Client sends written
notice to ccgenesis that such deliverables meet Client's reasonable
expectations; (2) Client uses such Deliverables for a commercial purpose in the
operation of its business; or (3) ten business days following the date ccgenesis
presents such deliverables for Acceptance if Client has not delivered a
rejection notice to ccgenesis.
