Bring legal form-filling database to the web

February 07, 2008   ( 9 months )

I am looking for a developer to bring a FileMaker 9 legal form-filling database to the web. Clients would do data entry on one page (approx 375 fields). Attorneys would review the clients’ data and add more data (approx 525 fields). Approximately 450 of these fields appear on the main form (10 pages), and 25 fields appear on a second form (1 page). The forms are generated as pdfs for sending as email attachments or for printing and sending through the mail. It currently exists as a very simple one-table database. (It might make more sense for several series of address, employment and travel data to be placed in separate tables so they could easily be sorted by date.)

I have made up these four layouts in FileMaker. We have used a similar program internally and via VPN for several years. We have FileMaker Server 9 and a T1 line for serving the database, multiple FileMaker licenses for our in-house users, and license FMStudio and Dreamweaver.

The developer would need to prepare web pages similar to the data entry and attorney layouts; a login screen; create multiple privilege sets (clients, rank-and-file attorneys, supervising attorneys, firm supervisors, admin); a payment screen (a few prepayment options; routed through a credit card processor; I don’t think I want credit card information in my db); the ability for attorneys to generate pdfs (certainly in-house via FileMaker, ideally off-site via the web as well). The option for clients to enter their data into a pdf and then submit it to the data entry page is something else I want to explore. Finally, I would want assistance configuring our server and router.

I would like to be testing the site by March. I can send a copy of the current state of the db with a few sample records to interested developers.
