Hi.
We are looking for somebody to create a scraping website that scrapes daily deals from Groupon and similar sites and post them on our site.
Your job will be to create the whole back end of the site with the scraping and integrating it (maybe with an open source CMS) and our design so that we can control all the features. I would think that the scraping script runs maybe twice a day with a cronjob and adds posts to wordpress, or any other CMS or custom made system. Then using custom fields for price and discount amount. The deals should be separated in to city's so that when a visitor enters the page he/she select which city to view and only gets the offers that are available in her city. This way the visitor can view all the deals in a nice way, if the click the deal the go straight to the deal using our affiliate links. Old deals that are not active any more will be placed in an archive which can be viewed on a separate page.
We also like to have a newsletter function were all the deals of the day are e-mailed to newsletter subscribers in that city.
Here are some similar sites:

[login to view URL]
Websites to be scraped:

[login to view URL]

We will supply a design, you will then do all the integrating of the system. Design is being done right now so we can't present it yet.
These are just my first thoughts on how to do this and im sure there are 100 other ways to do it and as long as it works we are happy. Please present the way you will create the page to us via PMB along with any bids.
Regards
