Would like to build a website 90% similar to www.mineeds.com using PHP and MySQL. Please check this website out! Thanks! I do not need all functions under the “Ask the Experts” tab. This is a freelance website. Same principle as scriptlance.com, scriptlance.com, Elance.com or Freelancer.com. However, this project is easier than Elance.com or Freelancer.com. It serves United States only. It does not need the Milestone, workroom, and Escrow systems. It needs a messaging system for buyer and freelancers. Projects are searched by US City, State or ZipCode with radius calculation. This plugin function is available by acquiring shareware or from vendors.
To make this project easier, faster, and cost effective, you can modify existing or shareware freelance scripts.
It needs two end user logins –
Business(consumer or buyer) and Freelancer(service provider)
Business can post their projects onto the site.
Freelancers can bid/quote on the projects.
Feedback + Rating system for Buyers and Freelancers
Portfolio system where Freelancers can upload their work, pdfs, images, cv, etc into a gallery.
Fees. Option for admin to charge per jobpost /monthly fee/ and/or take a commission from each job. Preferably through Paypal and Credit Cards.
Buyers and Freelancers can ALSO Register/Login through Facebook Connect.
Newsletter System.
RSS Feed for jobs.
Search System for Buyers and Freelancers.
Freelancer can save their search and receive updates based on their choices via email.
Featured Freelancers module/feed
Recent Jobs module/feed
And of course an admin panel to regulate all of these things.
I would appreciate seeing previous work of a similar nature when placing your bid.
