Dating/Social Site Phase 2

We are doing a full transformation of our site [login to view URL] to become more like MySpace.com. This will be a 4 phase project. This being the 1st phase out of the 4. We basically have all the main sections covered but there will be minor/some major pages that will need to be developed and integrated into our current site template. This should not be difficult as we will supply all PSDs. We are also looking for an experienced asp.net coder who is familiar with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to code all of the functions/sections like [login to view URL], plus some new additional features like face battles, facebattle tournaments, and Couples section. ## Deliverables - Laying out the remainder of the pages we have designed for you that are not included in our template but exist on MySpace.com. To get a rough idea of how many pages that will be look at [login to view URL] the whole site. Also we have provided a text file in the projects attachment as well Of just how many pages that will be. - All pages must use proper design techniques resulting in semantically correct markup and styled using CSS. This entails the developer to handcode the markup and styles as no application (ie Dreamweaver/Frontpage) will generate semantic markup. Do not place a bid if you are unfamiliar with semantic HTML and CSS as this project will be difficult for you to complete if you are just beginning. An experienced web developer will be reviewing the code and ensuring it is done correctly. This would mean a tableless CSS layout where all markup is styled through via the styelsheet. A common stylesheet should be used and seperate styelsheets for each section and page to make for easy editing and smaller load times per page. If you are unclear on any of these items, please look at the included examples below. All pages must also validate using W3C validators and be cross browser compatible (need to work in IE 5.5+, Opera 7+, Safari, FF 1.0+ on both Windows/Linux/Unix) - All the functions/pages/sections that are on [login to view URL] and the pages we have stated in our attachment which are in reference to [login to view URL] must function exactly how they do on the [login to view URL]'s website. - Any additional data needed to accomplish the full working functionality of the site will be provided by you(the coder). Also all the current Data that is on our site must be migrated over as well. All Data must be converted fully functioning and working with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. - Each individual page must be at least 70k or less. Excluding the actual users pictures. - Code all features/sections/pages that are on [login to view URL] into the new [login to view URL] Site/Design. Using Asp.Net 2.0 , code base VB.net - ALL sections and ALL features that are on our current site [login to view URL] and that are on [login to view URL] will have to be designed and coded to fit and blend in with the rest of the site that we are redesignin ([login to view URL]). This includes a Mp3 player/Video Player that will be built into the site. Varying on whatever songs or videos are uploaded by the users. It will play them. This will be coded and designed. Other items include a realtime chatroom, that can read from our database so that users who our logged in can chat. The chat can be developed in Java/Flash/ASP.NET - An automatic emailing protocol for different events and reminders. For example an email reminder should be sent to users who have been inactive for 2 weeks or longer. Another one would be for users who wish to be notified when they receive new messages, a notification would be sent to them via email. format would be different/adjustable for each email. - Need to provide proper documentation on where all code is located for features for easy enhancements etc. Also need descriptions of classes/namespaces used and what pages are using them so we know all the pages that run that code. - All work that you do will be installed and updated on our dedicated server by you and must be 100% functional and error free. - The site should use a n-tier archetecture so that there is no dependency between the UI and logic. - A RTE (rich text edit boxes) used wherever deemed applicable. - All deliverable MUST work on our server. You will have full access so you can configure settings as required but we are not responsible to "setup" the code on the server that you provide. For the job to be deemed complete, the site must be 100% operational on our server. - We expect weekly meetings to discuss the next week's course of action and deliverables as well as see demonstrations of what was developed in that week. Any questions/concerns can be addressed to us at any time to prevent delay. We will answer hopefully witin a 24hr period. - All major design changes should be discussed in weekly meetings to decide the overall best implementation method. Example being whether to store images in a database or use a file system. Things such as this should be discusssed with us prior to implementation. -All work must be easily editable. -Daily communication via RAC is required. -Any fixes or edits we request/require should be implemented within 48 hours of the initial request. -All beta testing and demos of the site will be done on my dedicated server. -You must setup the dedicated server I provide to be fully functional with the website that you create including the mailing system and automatic e-mail features. -The layout must be exactly how I specify -All work for [login to view URL] must be accepted and approved before the project is considered complete. -External documentation explaining all code should be provided as well. (above is what the 4 phased project will consist of) -All Prior phases fixes and updates will be worked on and optimized. **Phase 2 of this project can be found in the attachment of this project.** 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows?
