294553 CAR / AUTO WEBSITE PORTAL

STAGE ONE (Only quote on this part of the job at present) We need a fast experienced coder/programmer to run us up a car/auto classified ads website in one week. It must have a clean look to the coding/design, similiar base to easycarportal(dot)com or features on iautosoftware(dot)com. It will have free listings and paid for, so must be able to change and add new types/feature ads etc. It will be for private and trader sellers, so two sections - one aimed at private sellers (free) and the trader (dealers) section will have their own details/logos etc, so when the cars are listed it shows their logo etc next to it on the listing pages. We want a search which covers the normal run of the mill selections, ie, new/used, make, model, postcode, distance to search within, price min-max etc with an advanced search also an option for users. We are in the UK, so everything must be for this market, ie, UK postcode search, UK pound and miles etc. You should be building a UK postcode database into the system, and also all normal UK makes & models to database. On the car listing page, we want the user to be able to upload a video, and also up to 10 images (controled by admin panel). The images will show as one large image then the other ones smaller under it - you can then either view images by clicking on them - or click on slideshow and it will run through the car images in the big space. We also want the option for the user to create a video online from the images supplied, in case they don't have a video to upload, this would be s simple standard flash type script that then plays through the images uploaded and creates a movie from them, ie, it enlarges in and out of them and moves from left to right for example, giving the impression of a video from the uploaded static images. It would also be of benefit it you could use lightbox box effect at these stages......ie, when video etc is clicked on to play. It would show the sellers info etc for contracting them including telephone number, email, web address, company logo etc for dealers all next to each car listing. Payment options for transactions on the website - would need to include paypal for example. We also want to run ad banner space from the admin panel, and will create design of website to include these banner areas. It will also note click throughs and impressions of the ad banners and store this info for viewing, and be control by start and end dates etc. The option also needs to be here to add keywords to banners, so say we have an audi banner, nd when someone searches for audi this banner will show on the result page. Each user will need to register as either a private or dealer, and they have their own pages after login, for example showing old cars they listed, all their live ads and also a transaction info page, listing all their website activity. On the home page, there would be featured cars and dealers etc and be able to select your search by some highlighted featues, ie, search for colour of car only or type of car (saloon, 4x4, sports) etc Your script etc miss run fast, we do not want any slow running performance issues with this website. Your pages produced must also be SEO friendly. Please only bid if you feel 100% you have the ability to not only complete stage one of this project - but also be able to work to the tight deadline and also tight budget. We look forward to hearing from you, and if you have examples of other similiar car/auto classifieds website/portal you have completed - then please send us the links for them to have a look at. AS mentioned above the two scripts you can buy - at a good price - but we would rather see a coder give us a more custom solution and that will benefit both of us! Please bear in mind the timescales and please only bid if you can meet them - as we have been let down previous by coders who say it will take a week, and two months later they are still working on the project! THANKS IN ADVANCE STAGE TWO The script would need to be flexible for future add ons, as the next stage would include running dealers website (seperate URNs etc) but in the CMS for these websites it gives them the option to select which cars they want to sent to our cars for sale website (as quote above). So being able to run automatic imports etc would be required a are much later date than what is required initially.
