Thank you for looking at my quote. I am sure I'm not the least expensive quote you have received, however, I have some unique experience that will be invaluable in getting your project completed with outstanding results.
I do have experience in starting an online school as a matter of fact. I worked on a project for the United States Air Force known as DLMP (Distance Learning Masters Program). This was an online program for USAF Officers made available so they could complete their Masters Degree no matter where they were stationed in the world.
I would like to speak with you about reconsidering Wordpress, as I have a much superior alternative:
I will fill you in on some more details of my proposal, as I think these are critical not only to short-term success, but also tremendously lowering your overall maintenance costs over time.
In addition to the previous experience with developing an online learning system for the US Air Force, I am able to offer you a out-of-the-box solution, loaded with any online learning feature you could imagine, that will be of no cost to you. There is no need to reinvent the wheel here. However, what is required is dedicated hosting space that can be acquired for as little as $20/month (competitive with Wordpress) that has JQuery, PHP, and MySQL database capabilities. I will handle all the setup of your online learning solution onto the server, including software installation, database creation and other configuration requirements.
