| Web Design Estimate Question |

We want to put a web server on an embedded Linux device (on a Xilinx FPGA) to allow system upgrades. When in maintenance mode, it runs Linux from an SD card, when in application mode it runs a custom program straight from FLASH soldered to the main board.
I'm envisaging something like the configuration screens on a network router.
However, this system deals with audio, so we would probably need some form of slider controls for volume levels, as well as numeric entry and what VC++ called a spin button for more accurate entry.
Once data is entered (preferably as the control is being changed) the web server would have to call an application to package the new values appropriately and stick them in shared memory for the main application to read and update the audio levels.
When the installer was happy with the levels, they would press a button to save the current settings to flash, which would call another application to perform that task.
We'd want the ability to store numerous configuration files on the embedded Linux filesystem, in some form of VCS so the installer can see what changed each time someone messed with the volume levels.
We don't have anyone here with much by way of web design skills. I made a web page back in 1998 using notepad and not many more tags than is available on ARS, and have no idea what technologies I'd use for this.
If we subcontracted this out, (and assuming us embedded software guys handled the applications for converting web page control values into the configuration data and loading it into main application RAM or Program flash) what sort of technology would we be looking at to handle this? I'm assuming it is beyond basic HTML and would require some kind of server-side scripting language to implement.
How long would something like the configuration pages for a network router take for a competent web designer? |
