Hi everybody, I am an ASP developer. But currently I am too busy at 2 offices that I work, and 2 offices that I own. The work load is too much for me. A few months ago I have purchased a domain which is of high priority for me and I want to build a good functioning website for it, but I can't manage to find enough time. Please visit www.hay.am, the first page is ready now, I will need to develop all other sections of the site also. The task is: > Make a good design that will be user friendly for all of the sections > Use ASP and/or ASP.NET with MsSQL for completeing the project > Construct each section independently > Have one user database for all of the section > Be able to have the text of the website in 3 languages (English, Russian, Armenian) If anybody wants to bid please let me know, either here or PM me. Please include the price for each of the sections, I am not sure whether I wil be able to make the order for all of the sections simultaneusly. Waiting for your replies.....
Don't see any offers guys, is it too big? I don't need in very quick, as long as I know it will be done this year
Are you selling or paying someone to develop the site for you ? Well, I guess perhaps it is the lack of information on how you want it developed and probably partly because not everyone who knows ASP knows Armenian, Russian and English at the same time
I will never sell that site. Thats the best Armenian domain and I want it to be the best portal. The person knowing ASP does not have to know Armenian, Russian and English. I will translate the information on my own, the developer needs to have all the texts in one file. Hope the answers were enough
Clarifications: GAMES Section: This should be like any games website. It should include flash games. The users are or are not allowed to play. There should be an admin panel which will have the opportunity to add new games with their info, and the site it is copyrighted to. The admin should be able to edit and delete the content and allow or disallow portal users from playing games on the site. Chat: The portal users may be able to login and chat. The admins should be able to ban users for specific period of time. There should be a word analizer so that users will not be able to post cencored content on the chat. It should have several room. I like the chat script I found, I have placed it at www.hay.am/chat, but it will need more development. There should be some criterion so that I can make a user a chat moderator. So that when I am off they can ban users and disconnect them. Forum: I like the forum on digital point (forum.digitalpoint.com) but we'll need to attach it to the main database of users which will be MsSQL driven. Admin Panel is not required unless it is available directly from chat to perform admin functions Jokes: There will be some categories where the user can post jokes, the visitor can read them but nor post. The users should be able to edit or delete their own posts. There should be admin panel for this section also. Files: This should be just like any download site. Users must be able to add, delete or edit their own files. They must be able to upload them. There should be cleared out what kind of files they must be able to upload. Admin panel is a must so that we can delete content that we do not approve. Link: This should be a 2 leveled link directory. You add the title, description, select language(s), url, e-mail, name. Should have an admin panel so that we delete useless or unapproved content. Announcements: This section should work almost like the Jokes section. May have extra data in the DB. Admin panel is also required. E-mail: This should be a web based e-mail. Anybody wishing to have an e-mail with @hay.am should register. It must be a web based mail. The server is a Windows server. I don't need to many functions here. Basically SPAM protection, Inbox Sent Items, Deleted Items, signature... Just the main functions so that users start using this e-mails. Dating: This should be just like all other dating sites. Greetings: This must be a greeting card section. Admins should be able to add Picture or Flash greetings to the section. Any registered user should be able to send greetings to any address they wish to. Photos: This section must have several categories. Here we are going to post pictures of Armenia + other countries. We should be able to add or delete categories. The users should be able to add new pictures also. This is like a web gallery. Music: Online music player for registered users only. Users may upload music, but admins should approve it. Admin panel for editing the content is required. Recipes: A basic directory of recipes. Should include the recipe, 1-5 pictures. Should be available for all visitors, but only registered can post content there. Admin panel is needed for taking care of the content. REMINDER: The portal should be in 3 languages, but we want the system to be easy to change so that if we decide to add another language we won't face any problems. Also there should be a global registration. You register once and you get access to all of the section. The registration information is almost like Yahoo's. We should be able to block specific names. Admin panel are desired to be on one page so that we don't have to enter each section for administering. And a mailing system is needed to be able to send an e-mail to all users if anything happens. Hope this is enough information for you to make some calculations and propose a price for each section separately. Thank you
Sorry for the comment... but do you understand the complexity of developing such a project from scratch? (I mean on ASP you will have to do this from scratch). My Suggestion: try to rethink the approach in PHP and try to find people that can write real connectors to the available modules (vbulletin, games, 123flashchat or something like this). Even in PHP this project will take a while (just connecting everythign to central DB, so you should try local developers if you are in russia. In asp you need to hire a group of people ... workign and developing these modules for at least a year. I could be completely wrong, but I think people who can do this in asp will be quoting $100 000 + for a nice site that you have described. Once again, this is only my opinion and I could be completely wrong. Pricing quoted was considering the amount of time required and US labor.
This is indeed a 5 figure project. Even in Russia my colleagues would quote you over $20k. You have to start with a business plan adressing all the features and fuctionalities in detail, if you dont want or dont have time to build a plan, there are consulting agencies which could make you one for around $3000. This plan will save you lots of money and time in development stage.
Привет You are right, but I can't afford myself paying out $3000 dollars for the plan. I'll do it myself. I know the project is a huge one, that's why I might want to have it done section after section that way I won't notice how much money I might spent on it. Thanks for your reply
Actually from what I see, most of what you are planning to do already exists as separate PHP modules. Maybe working on integrating their designs and database would probably work if you do not need it to be ASP.net based.
Actually I know that there are ready modules and PHP ones are the best. I would like to have the chat and forum like that but all other sections I want to be hand made. Actually the reason is and the experience shows that it is easier for hackers to crack anything that is made using a module than the ones that are harnd made and have a unique programming. Don't you think that I am right when I want everything to be made specifically for this site
