Secrets about Quoting and Translating a Website: the easiest and most time- and cost-effective way

Graeat article amayo. Let me tell you that quoting a website it's a very difficult task, there are no tools that I know than can properly extract the necessary files you might need in order to quote it correctly.

That´s very interesting. So what would be the best way to have a website quoted properly if just sending the web address is not enough?

Source files from the web developer are definitely the best way to do a good job! Unfortunately, clients are in between you and the developer and it often gets quite difficult to get them. Besides, many times prospects or clients approach you just to have a ballpark figure for their marketing budget before moving forward with a specific request. And last but not least...requests frequently come from marketing and advertising agencies and not straight from your end-client.

I see. What are the most common formats for website source files?
