We are looking to build a new website proposing 2-sided debates, little bit like Create Debate but not the exact clone of it, just inspired by some functions and some graphical stats for votes but not necessarily all of them. Only 2-sided debates and votings, no contests, no debate communities; just all tools we need to build an online community around debating and voting but with an advanced system of voting, scoring and rewarding depending of each one’s participation in proposed debates.

The graphical chart should be similar to our existing website so we will supply some exact colours and some elements like menu design or buttons, then the pure design work should be limited to the creation of the main logo and some graphical elements necessary for voting process etc.

Everything should be coded in PHP5 using MySQL and Javascript or Ajax when necessary to create some voting results, for graphical stats and meters Google Chart API could be used until you have better solution; the charset to be used should be UTF-8. Smarty templates could be also used until you have better solution, otherwise the use of CSS is the must as well as some obvious SEO requirements like url or each title rewritings accordingly to the main subject of each debate or voting.

As this website is not going to be runned in English, we don’t care about any content redaction or descriptions but we need to use a separate language file for all messages, registration instructions and menu or fonctions labels in view to be able to switch to any language very smoothly without reviewing each line of code later.

This project should be developed first as an independent website for possible further standalone use but after completion we will ask you to setup it as an additional module of our existing website. Your task at this step will be limited to review the existing PHP/MySQL registration process and build the new process and members data storage compatible with existing members tables, I mean to let all existing members to participate in new debates without any additional registration. At this point we would like to rely rather on your PHP knowledge to organize it the most optimized and secured way with sending of registration confirmation e-mail messages etc. You will be able to include directly some parts of existing code from our website so everything has not to be created from the scratch !

We are looking for serious but flexible programmers able to develop friendly and trustworthy relation; we have never outsourced any bigger projects before but if successful we could launch some other similar projects together. We request a very good level of written English for our communication as we are going to communicate rather by e-mail then by any messengers, however we can also communicate in French.

This is not very urgent project but taking into account the fast coming Christmas period we would like to release everything online within about 2-3 weeks from now and this time frame should be respected.
We are not going to choose straight off the lowest bid, we are looking rather for reasonably priced offer mixed with a minimum of programming experience and some similar projects already performed in the past. Please don’t bid if you don’t have any positive feedback on Scriptlance from other webmasters.

Thanks in advance for your time, please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions before bidding.
