Not an attack here but you must be a much better application designer than I am because there is no way I could give an accurate quote with the information available so far.

Oh, I see. So you are hoping that your half hour is good but you need additional work involved to cover your ass in case you're low on it

No 2 systems are exactly alike, what you want done, if done properly, involves interacting with your existing system and database. Without knowing what the system looks like (what language it is coded in, whether the code is encoded or not, etc etc) and without knowing what the database looks like there is no way (in my opinion) that someone can give you an accurate read of what effort and time will be required to pull off what you want to pull off.

I have numerous email confirmation/activation routines I have put together across the years and one of them might be a very nice fit for what you want to do but I cannot make that decsion without digging down to get more information.

Nah, there are lots simpler things we do for clients all the time.
