Real Estate Type Site – Repost 20.11.08
This is a repost as we lost contact with our programmer.
This is a new website similar to a real estate or auto sales site (MLS/ multiple listing service). We have provided a PDF file that gives an overview of the look we’d like. We would like clean, simple programming for easy updates wherever possible. Successful bid will likely have similar site samples they have done and good review feedback.
Scope
Graphics Improve on basic logo provided, but site to be very similar to the sample which is pulled from another site’s look see PDF for more details. The individual listings should be laid out as shown on our Home Page sample but with a line or boxes between them since more than one will come up in a search.
Web Design and Scripting Home Page with search engine/ drop down menu with the search by Make/Model and price Bluebook price if Asking price is not available, Contact Us Page, Add or Change Listing Page (with login/lost password setup for changes later, photo upload, and popup response that listing and recapped information that was received.) Payment Page/Form (probably Google). Intial site to be setup with very basic seo for Google/Yahoo.
Initial Database Merge into Site Open to suggestions (mysql) but we will need you to merge our existing .xls file (about 20 files) of approximately 2600 aircraft (all same headings), photos of aircraft (about 85% have one or more photos which we have in standardized jpg file names to match serial numbers for easy import), and one calculation sheet so we can change the Bluebook values fairly simply from a list of make/model/year without re-entering each aircraft value each quarter (not critical). We will give you a short sample .xls file and photos to start with the merge fields/column headings shown on the PDF will be finalized at that time.
Working Database With some of the aircraft info and all the owner and broker contact info in addition to the ability to note payments. Would be same .xls files as above but using additional heading/fields. Would be nice if could be used to create one-time invoice but not critical.
Languages The site will have the drop down box for multiple languages as shown in our PDF but just set up the site in English to start with any other selection just reverting to Home. Will likely use google translation if you’re familiar but does not need to be upfront since the text will change. The FAQ, Industry Info pages, and more advanced SEO will also be added at a later date and separate bid.
This is a tight budget, but ongoing project for an experienced programmer (site is set up for Linux, PHP5.x, MySQL w/Godaddy). Time frame three weeks. Basic look in five days, basic operation in two weeks, fully checked and bugs out (final payment) within three weeks. Milestone funding through escrow. We expect to see some progress every 2-3 days – please do not bid if you are too busy to focus on this project.
Please (1) submit SIMILAR sample sites you have created with your bid if possible, and (2) let us know you have reviewed the PDF provided.
Thank you.
