We are looking for a web application to be developed. The application fundamentally has 4 parts to it:
1. A membership registration and maintenance facility within a website.
2. A website facility for customers to request contact with these members.
3. An applet (think of the google add-ins) to allow these customers requests to be made from third party websites. This app should be very easy to add into the existing website and should allow for affiliates.
4. Behind these three main sections, there will be a sophisticated and very efficient ‘engine’ to handle the requests and translate them into SMS messages and emails. The engine will also monitor incoming SMS messages and email responses to update requests and member’s ratings.
This has the potential to become a very successful application and we are looking to develop a long term partnership with the right company. If you are interested, please let us know. We can then send you a more detailed functional specification for you to look at prior to submitting a quote.
There is a more in depth functional specification available to coders who are interested in bidding.
This application will be expanded and improved and there will be enhancements for the next 3 to 5 years. This project is only the start and we would like to form a relationship with a reliable and excellent coder that we can continue to use during this time.
## Deliverables
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
The application should be developed on Linux, probably in PHP and/or java.
We will require a reliable database to house the data that we capture like MySQL or something else reliable. This website must be extremely fast and efficient.
This website and the applets must be platform independent.
