This new Social Networking site will have the following functionalities just as Facebook, except those marked otherwise. That is: Search -> A MUST My Profile(edit)-> A MUST My Friends -> A MUST My Messages -> A MUST My Account -> A MUST My Photos -> 5photos. Albums option is Secondary. My Groups -> Secondary importance My Events -> NO My Privacy -> NO ---------- Also, it will have the capacity for users to Chat. This means you can know who is online and put it as a Search requisite when browsing profiles (just as in faceparty). It will need NO BLOGS, NO FORUMS. ----------- An experienced PHP/MySQL development team is sought. There is a basic version of the site with the registration, profile, faq, contact administrator, and basic university search profiles functionalities implemented in php/mysql. This will be available for the programmer to work with, but if it is estimated to be faster/better/more comfortable to start from scratch it will also be accepted (although the price will be the same). The site has to be scalable, supportive of thousands of users, the code/database therefore efficiently designed. You must have experience with CSS, XHTML, and advance databases. NO DREAMWEAVER or similar tool that fills code with junk. Just clean hand coding. The design has to be very basic, just as facebook: clean and simple. If it means more time it can be overlooked as long as it has a good enough layout to be testable, in that case it would then be designed by someone else afterwards (CSS: separation design/data). I am open to questions from bidders. Please, only serious bidders, preferably with experience in social networking sites. Submit bids with timelines and deliverables. Samples of products you have developed that are similar will be much valued. Future work relationship if project successfully executed.
