An experienced PHP/MySQL coder required to code an interactive website. The concept and operational parameters are similar to a dating website, but it will handle different content. The website consists of the following modules: - creating user accounts, includes e-mail and/or SMS verification; - login, including protocol for re-sending lost passwords; - updating user details; - browse - search, including form for submitting search criteria; - advanced search - filters search results through a more detailed set of parameters; - contact module (all communication from user goes through website, in order to eliminate e-mail spam) - project tracking module (similar to tracking DHL or postal parcels online) - approx. 12 static pages (about us, faq etc). - browser based content upload module; - browser based site maintenance module; - automated generating e-mails for notifying users and (in some cases) the webmaster. The following information is available: * Graphic design in Photoshop format; * CSS for the majority of the site; * A working model of the website in PHP, but without link to database - arrays are hard coded to simulate information supplied by MySQL; * Preliminary database schema * Database content in Excel tables * Mathematical formulas for filtering search results * Site content (txt + jpg files). * Detailed design brief, with description of every web page, in Microsoft Word format. The successful bidder will have to sign a NDA after being selected and before commencement of work. Native English not necessary. All variable and function names, as well as comments, need to be in English.
