Project Description:
I have a requirement for an event management company that we are planning to set up and I need a proposal based on the features I had outlined below.
Overview
I would my website to be able to connect individuals involved in event management to post their profiles and employ other people who can assist with the events that are organized.
Similar to sites like www.freelancer.com or www.elance.com
Requirements
Search function to search for people based on their service offering & list of events that are taking place. The search has to be in terms of full text search and content based search. For example, when i search for "musician", only those who have registered under occupation "musician" should be returned as results. Search is very important to us as we want this to be as a highlight on the first page of the website ( like www.name.com )
User Registration (registration of new profile, managing new profile, add other profiles (My Circle) , post events, post videos, images, managing events, mailbox feature, list of transactions and status, marketplace (if i want to hire people) )
Events Page ( List of events, event calender, sorted by category. If I am logged in the system, I should be able to see the events that I have created, etc )
My Circle ( I can add profiles of others here, and then tag them to the events that I have created, have interaction through chat function, similar to Google + )
Marketplace Page ( when i click on "Hire" someone, it will send a request to that person to accept. Once accepted, he can send a message back to the requester for payment due amount and the requested will then need to go through the payment gateway to proceed with the payment )
Administrator page ( for us to have control and access on user profile, deletion, able to extract monthly reports on user profiles listed, etc )
Content Management System (Joomla)
We have our logo, but just need to convert it into hi-res
We have the domain name registered but we need hosting
System Requirements ( after doing some research on some websites that use some of the features mentioned above )
Frontend - Javascript, AJAX
Backend - PHP, C++, Java
Database - MySQL
Some reference websites and others
www.name.com ( for interface )
www.freelancer.com ( for functions )
www.elance.com
www.stumble.com
www.eventbrite.com
We need the website design to be modern and catchy and ease of use ( something like design for Windows 8 interfaces, with bold colors and good font )
Target launch - Mid March 2013, expected to have at least a beta site ready.
