Needed some help for software

[tts]

Hi all, i want to create a mobi web based reporting system with multiple users. I received quotes and it is very expensive. All i need is a user to access the site, answer a few questions and repeat the process for the day, then i would like to view a report at the end of the day. Any suggestions?

Hi, do you really need an app? There are many ways to do this, e.g. you can run a survey with Google docs.

+1 to GoB's suggestion of using Google Forms.

If you're trying to build a mobile-based survey site, all you'll really need is a bootstrap theme and some non-relational DB to store the data.

It can be built relatively quickly, but I'm not sure what "expensive" means to you.

How much are they asking for?

I agree.. Bootstrap is the best for this type of program...
I have worked with Bootstrap before, It should take a week of development and is free too learn

I think tts is hiding some obvious complexity he isn't describing here, hence why he received expensive quotes.

you do know that bootstrap is basically a layout/css framework? which of course has nothing to do with the data capture and reporting, or any other business operation....

It's also possible that he asked for something too complex for these basic needs and they're taking advantage of his/her lack of knowledge.

I suspect it has something to do with "part2" of building this survey, which is data rendering/display (and possibly survey summary) from the DB.

Survey Monkey?

Literally every company I've worked for has used Survey Monkey and never heard complaints around it.
