Hi,
We have carefully read your project description. It seems like a big project in the making. So this will have to be done in multiple phases. Otherwise, projects of this nature will never materialize into a real product.
The first phase of the work would be to come up with a MVP i.e. a Minimum Viable Product.
Our quote ($2400/30 Days) is for the MVP.
We envisage the following deliverable in the MVP:
a. System & Database Design
b. Layout & Graphics
c. Programming of the base requirements
d. Testing & Upload on Server
Base requirements:
01. Member Sign-Up
02. Member Log-In (Direct / Thru FB / Thru Twitter)
03. Profile Set-Up
04. Gallery Management (Photo, Video Clips, Sound Bytes)
05. Search Members
06. View Profile of other Members
07. Post Messages to "Wall" / "Billboard"
08. Send Friend Requests
09. Respond to Friend Requests
10. Intra Site Messaging
11. Administrative Panel to moderate Members
Points to remember:
a. If chosen we would like to do the work in PHP/MysQL with AJAX/jQuery.
b. For uploading of Video/Sound Clips, the MVP would only support Internet enabled media (e.g. MP4, MP3, FLV)
c. We can also have the option for members to link/embed Videos from YouTube etc.
Now let me quickly introduce eBLUESOFT to you. We have a 4.9/5.0 reputation at Freelancer with 220+ project experience, 92% completion rate and hundreds of positive client feedback. We are certified in PHP, MySQL, Graphics etc.
