B2C Activity-Matching Site(repost)

Concept is online activities classifieds for users'events which are time based. Visitors will have a choice of either 1) Post an Ad for an activity along with city, location, venue, short description and whether this is a public or private event, invite function to friends 2) Search for activities by type of activity and by city for example you can check out a technologically similar site (but different market) is [[login to view URL]][1] To include all programming, front end design, images, user interface, integration and upload to server. ***Please indicate what open source code you'll be using (Drupal, Joomla, Boonex and others?) or Custom? I actually prefer you use open source as its quicker and easier to change later on**** *** See full Deliverables in the deliverables section **** ## Deliverables User Registration will have basic and premium memberships registration will have captcha and email verification automatic screening and banning of certain words that is words on the banned list will post an error msg telling user they need to repost Would be great if the system could automatically ban people from certain countries or IP addresses..things like geiop to control user access & ban certain countries. On the positive side it can also be use to direct users to more relevant content (events, services & advertising) that are closer to them geographically. Also, I have experience matching users by zip code. So you can pair people together who are in a 5 mile radius 25 mile or any radius. It's much better than by city for people who border another city Users will have profile including picture private and public calendar which integrates accepted events onto their online calendar tags for favorite places and next destinations for example you can check out member features of [[login to view URL]][2] for a list of typical user's functions you can check out <[login to view URL]> abiility to contact other users abiltiy to accept or decline activity invitation favorites that is put an event on their watched list or calendar..and option to put a particular member on their favorites to be notified when that person is online or post new activity Internal Site email Admin will have review and approval of new members and edits to profiles there will need to be at least 2 levels (maybe 3 levels of admin); moderator (maybe by city), editor and super-user (can do refunds, delete and freeze memberships) admin features will include but limited to member search, member or event of the week administration, view expired members, view passwords, suspend/delete member, view abuse messages, change member's payment status view transaction history, modify membership packages administer google adsense or other text ad code on the site that is easy way to upload new code for text and banner ads for example of admin features you can check out <[login to view URL]> webstats email system of users by geography, age, gender...along with graphical email templates ecommerce features paypal basic and bulk visa/mastercard In conclusion: whilst the technology will be similar to sites like like [[login to view URL]][3] or [[login to view URL]][2] but this Porject will NOT be like those other sites because those sites have too many non-core features but we'd want to borrow some of their good ideas. The site will be clean and simple like [[login to view URL]][4] but for people to network. I am looking for this to be developed using open-source code like Drupal or something similar so that it can be easier for me to find people to maintain it as opposed to custom generated code which will take longer and may not be 'industrial strength'. I am open to the type of open source tools you want to use but would appreciate you include mention of that when you quote. The site needs to be: 1) simple and focused ..good user interface 2) Easy to maintain with little or no editorial staff 3) Stable and Robust - no crashing 3) clear ways to make money thru adverts and online membership modules Before the site goes live it will go thru vigorous Quality Assurance, staging, testing of download speed and submission to major search engines and be search engine/meta-tag friendly The Winner will have experience in building successful dating, online classifieds, auction and/or social networking sites using open source tools. The Winner will be knowledgeable and able to advise on project scope and feature-set that is he should be able to compare the Project to the sites I've mentioned and distill core-featureset we need The Winner will be able to deliver the project on time and on budget. 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * * ## Platform Prefer Linux but open to suggestions as long as the environment is stable. The program needs to be able to run on a virtual hosting platform that is must not take up too much HD.
