Ask for some examples of some sites they like or they lean to... and give us a more detailed description of what type of company they actually are. From there I think we could help you better. Those are also things that should've been included in your "syllabus". 50 pages is a lot... yikes.

You could go search for CMS on sourceforge.net.That will give you a base to develop the pages on and an idea about the technical issues. As regarding the price.. you can calculate that on an hourly rate or per project, but I wouldn't go under 700$ for such a big project.

yeah dont skimp on what you charge... when they get someone to do the actual site thats going to be like 20K so they obviously have some dough to through at this project, and it shows its important to them ;)

Peace

Why they choose you for designing their site?
Maybe they like your style or are you a very good friend of the boss?
