So we are starting a hosting, and design company. We are requesting a development team that can take our design we have already created and code all parts in php true W3C compliance. Back-end specifications are as listed, we want to know which would be easiest to implement seamlessly into our design, and our designer (co-owner) of this company and can provide any images or anything on the development side that you may need. If you are a development company that is looking for the quick buck on this project, please do not waste either of our time on bidding on this project. In the event we have a good experience with this project we will be back for more business and we will need updates and fixes until we have a completely seamless front-end and back-end. **We listed this project with regards of just coding this project to handle all the 3rd party scripts. Everyone believes that they need to create an elaborate CMS but there is no need. Please re-read the sections below:** ## Deliverables **Questions:** We have a few questions for the development company that takes interest in providing a bid. We would like all bids to be accompanied by their suggestions and answers to the questions listed. If you feel on some part of our description of the project details we are off on what needs to be completed in a feasible and seamless manner, please suggest an alternative to ease our pain of waiting longer for the project to be completed or trying to accomplish something that isn't capable. **1.** How long will this project take to implement and install on the server ? **2.** Are you going to be able to use our template within our design front-end and back-end no problems ? **3.** Have you completed any development of a hosting website or anything similar to this project ? **4.** Do you have a portfolio and approximate completed projects ? Please attach portfolio or provide link. **Deliverables: ** All these deliverables can be 3rd party scripts. We are looking for full XML coding for the full site and all design will be done by our designer. We really just need 1 or 2 good coders to piece this site together. These are the sections we will need to be implemented. **- Client Billing System** ??" Our billing system should be able to handle all domain renewal, transfer, new domain and account-creation, automatic emails for bills - [login to view URL] - [_www.whoiscart.net_][1] this is a billing system we were planning on using [login to view URL] which is a feasible option for us we have already checked their script and we have the test results found here [[login to view URL]][2] - account lab plus - [_[login to view URL]][3] this is our second otion for our billing system **- Merchant Services** - Paypal and [login to view URL] are our choices for billing and should be able to be implemented throughout the billing system and website **- Keyword System** - We need a script that has keywords that will go to a link for definitions - we have a few sample sites we could show you if needed - 3rd party script would work **- Live Chat Integration** - We have researched and installed Help Center Live it has a built in ticketing system that may or may not be used for our ticket system - we are pretty set on help center live though **- Support Ticket System** ??" The ticket system we will use will handle all incoming emails and auto-create a ticket so that we may handle each ticket on a first come basis, this will also need to be built into our backend CMS so that we can gain function through our backend - Open to suggestions on which ticket system would work best for the most control and best for our clients **- Forum** - Integrated forum into the actual design of the website, I think we would like to use vbulletin, invision, or something similar we can install this to any directory needed **- Submission Forms and Email Pipeline** - "automatic emails" that go out when a member signs up, faq emails, just a list of multiple emails we can send out when someone has a problem. This may be able to be handled through the support ticket forum. If not, we need some sort of placement in the CMS - Please note we will need a couple submission forms within in the site where we have a "contact us" assigned - You can take a look at the sample design [[login to view URL]][4] It would be great to have a cost ratio for each feature on this list so we can decide what is feasible or not to be developed and implemented. Please do not hesitate to ask us any questions if you are unsure of what is expected. **Deliverables 2:** Mandatory Inclusions 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.

For all development companies that have sent a message but no bid amount, please do so ASAP so we can move forward with the project. Thanks Again !!
