Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, relatively new. I have also posted this before, several months ago, but having been messed around by a guy who has subsequently disappeared it seems!!!!, I have posted again as the project is still required. I have an idea for a site and I need some assistance in realising it. What I would like to achieve is the following: I want to create a function on a website whereby, through clicking a button, the end user is taken to a URL. Simple, but heres the complication I need help with. The URL they are taken to is selected at random from one of several lists. The lists will each be given a weighted value, whereby the URL's contained in the list with the highest weight will be displayed more frequently that those with a lower weight. By this I mean a URL in the weighted 10 list will be selected 10 times more frequently than those in the weighted 1 list. I don't know if I am being clear enough here. Without wishing to fully expose my business idea, the plan is to sell weighted URL positions at incremental values up to a weighted 10 URL. Ideally, following payment, I'd like the advertiser to be taken to a form where they submit their URL and it is automatically added to the correct list. Just to add one final complication, this all has to be monitored by time. Each URL will only stay active in the respective URL weighted list for a month from purchase. To summarize, for the user of the sit, their experience should be to simply push a button and be taken to a 'random' site. From and advertising perspective, the money paid, the higher the weight of their URL, the more frequently the users will be directed to their site. Oh, I also omitted one more item. I have a requirement to send an automated email out to the advertisers to notify them that their listing has expired after their one month listing. At the very least if I have to mail them manually, I need to know when their URL was listed and be notified when it expires. Firstly I hope this post is clear, and if so is it possible? If it is how much and how long?
Do you have a design from the previous attempt or did they not even get that far? Assuming PayPal Standard for payment, that a design exists and including 1 years hosting our quote would be circa £750. I know form the outset that our quote will be one of the highest due to the fact we are a uk based company however hopefully you have seen how expensive hiring an amateur (lost business/ time and effort having to revet vendors etc) can be and so realise that pro rates may be better in the long run
Our price was significantly below our normal rates given a small amount of sympathy for your story but good luck with the project and hope the next budget freelancer doesnt also do a runner.
