The objective of this project is to rebuild and redesign Wootpro.com which is a Woot Tracking Website.

There is existing code for the site however we wish for it to be used only as reference and prefer a complete recode of the site.
The site needs to be coded in ASP and capable of running on a Windows 2003/IIS server with the utilization on a MySQL backend if needed and utilizing CSS.
The code needs to be clean and optimized to minimize server and bandwidth utilization.
The site also needs to be cross browser compatible, and search engine optimized as best as possible (We realize this is not an SEO project).

Feature requirements for the site:

- The site is primarily advertising and donation supported.
Each page/section needs to be able to display up-to 8 different ads including Google ads optimized to show ads relevant to the current product on Woot.com.
Each ad zone needs to be configurable within an admin panel to refresh as different intervals, track displays, track clicks and add/remove/enable/disable ads.
Contextual & Inline ads need to be able to display for all text located on the site including item description.

- The information displayed on the site needs to be refreshed within a certain time variable configured in an admin panel.
The page should not need to reload to refresh the information, but only sections whose information has changed should refresh (possible Ajax)

- The site needs to be able to detect a woot off and change settings dynamically in this situation.
The refresh rate of the above sections need to go into Wootoff mode and based on settings in admin panel.

- The site needs to play an audio file for 4 scenarios, each with its own audio:
New woot item.
Woot item at or below 2%.
Woot item sold out.
Bag of crap woot item (in the instance, it will also need to open a new page with the order page for item being sold on woot.com) for paying members.
Audio files should only play once for each instance except for paying members who should be able to configure when the files play, and how often.
The page should also be able to grab focus of the screen, a feature which can be enabled by paying members.

- The site will need to have multiple pages contained in navigation tabs including:
+ Main page containing:
Woot off indicator.
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page).
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Description of item formatted as it is on Woot.com.

I have a website that runs on wordpress: http://tinyurl.com/l3z8j7 and
the theme I use is Aperture from Woothemes. The site has an adult nature.

I need to have a number of tasks done :

1) Would like a page where a new person can go to get started. This should be a page which aggregates specific posts tagged “get started”. I believe that the plugin called “AZIndex” (already in the plugnins on the site – not activeted yet. ) can do this. Check out the website http://azindex.englishmike.net/ to see if this plugin will work for that.
- either install and setup this plugin to allow me to create a page that aggregates all the posts marked “getting started”
- or-
- find another way to do this
–> the task is complete when a page is created that aggregates these particular posts, shows a short exceprt of the post as well as the picture associated with the post

2)Archives Page:
- problem: the theme comes with a standard archives page template, which doesn’t seem to be working
–> the task is complete when the archives page works as seen in woothemes.com demo of the theme

3) Newsletter Sign-Up Page:
- the problem: the code from aweber for capturing a name and e-mail address from a visitor doesn’t fit well into the theme.
–> the task is completed when the sign up page text fits the CSS for a page in the theme (font, formating, etc.)

4) Post Template: “Site Review”
- idea: to have a special posting template to be used for reviewing sites. This template should always have certain specific content sections (standard information about the type of site being reviewed…I will send you the content fields for this) displayed at the beginning of each post, before the actual text review of the website. The standard content block can be of slightly different colored background and have a frame around it – see the example of “RabbitsReviews.com” given in the video. The template should also have the same image resizer and image association function as the other posts do in the theme. This will then allow a picture to be associated and displayed for the post when it is being aggregated on a page.
–> the task is completed when a post template is created that has a standard layout and content sections as described and discussed. This template can be used to create posts and that these can be aggregated on a page with an associated image….as described in the next task

5) Aggregation Page for Site Reviews
- the idea: I would like to have a page which aggregates the sites reviewed (each site is reviewed as a post). This page would normally call the most recent 10 sites reviewed on the first displayed page but would offer an arrow at the bottom to see more pages (each page with 10 site review posts displayed). The aggregated site review posts will be excerpts of the first 40 words from the post plus the headline, the associated image will be shown to the right of the text, and the complete excerpt will be framed with a light-colored dotted. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING DEMO SITE AS AN EXAMPLE: http://www.studiopress.com/demo/streamline.html (the posts listed, below the picture are a good example of what I mean)
special filter function: it will be necessary to have a filter function that users could use that would call up and list sites based upon specific grouping data (listed sites would be displayed looking the same as described above). For example, a user could filter and see only sites rated at 4 stars and above, or sites that have contests to particiapte it. The filtering/sorting criteria would be drawn form the “standardized fields” described in the special post template above.
–> the task is complete when a page is created that can aggregate and display these posts as descibed above and discussed as well as when the filtering/sorting function works.

6) Post Template: “Couples”
- the idea: to have template which has certain standardized fields to use when reviewing couples. This template should always have certain specific content sections (I will provide you with this information).This is very similar to the “site review” template, in essence. One important function/feature of this template is that it should allow for is that there should a large space at the top for featureing a picture or embedding a video form the couple…this should look similar to the On Demand theme, shown in the video.
–> the task is complete when the post template is completed as described.

7)CSS For Text:
the benchmark for the text usage and legibility is http://www.problogger.com
Standard post text should have the following charcteristcs:
- font: Verdana or Tahoma
- font-size: 1.4 em;
- line-height: 1.6 em;
- margin: 0 0 1.5;
–> task is complete when blog text changes made to CSS

Post Template (for all types of posts)
- the idea: to include more information about the author at the end of post (short author blurb, I’ll provide these as well as description of look and feel), have similar or recommended posts in order to keep reader reading on the blog, buttons that allow the post to be “Tweeted” or added to Facebook
–> the task is complete when at the end of each post the author blurb, 3 similar posts are suggested (these should be inserted to the left side between the “previous post” and “next post” and a “tweet this” and “add to facebook” buttons are displayed also on the left side, below the “next post” link

——————

I need someone to start work on this and finish the majority of these tasks in TWO days.

Classified Ads With a Kick, For a Particular Product Line

This website will deal with a specific type of product, which I will keep confidential for the time being. The type of product involved does typically have an expiration date. The site’s primary content will be “descriptions” of many of the hundreds of products that fall within this product line we are dealing with. These descriptions may be created by admins or by registered users of the site. Users will attach free classified advertisements called “tickets” to these descriptions. The site will initially begin with no content at all. All content will be added by the site admin (me), or users. Users will have an eBay-style private message area where they may receive and respond to messages from site admin and other users they are completing a deal with. A blog and community forum will also be attached to the site.

The site must be compatible with IE 6, 7, 8, and Firefox. An per-existing or custom content management system will be necessary in order to allow me to make changes when necessary. The CMS must afford differing levels of control between system admins and site moderators. Written in Pphp using a LAMP setup (Linux, Apache, MySql, php). I would like the ability to add one-line text ads throughout the page. I would like to be able to add Google AdWords text ads on the sides of the page.

The timeframe for completion is 3 and one half months, with a two week beta testing period.

Please provide separate quotes for coding, design, and both together. You may separate the optional items or include them in the quote as you wish.

The descriptions will include the following information: product title, product description, retail price, optional link to corresponding forum post, optional expiration date, optional links to product info, and number of completed sales of this product on the website IF greater than zero. This sales number will of course be dynamic content. There will also be a place for users to vote the described product up or down. A description may only be edited by the creator, the site admin, or a moderator that the admin has assigned.

The home page will show various featured product descriptions. There will be a search box to search for product descriptions by key word(s). The search results may then be sorted by the following fields: Featured (default), Popular, Rating, Newest, Most Available, and Expired. Continue reading for descriptions of these fields.

The home page will have navigation tabs at the top, which sort the descriptions in different ways for the user. The tabs will be: Featured (default), Popular, Rating, Newest, Most Available, Regional, and Expired. When clicking on a tab, the entire web page will change. I would like to limit the use of AJAX and advanced technologies. No Flash is to be used.

Here are how the descriptions are sorted either by clicking tabs, or by sorting a key word search:

-Featured: Description order is determined by internal site administrator (me)
-Popular: Products described that have the most completed sales on our website come first (see below for more information on how this sales process works)
-Rating – The product description’s rating as voted by users. Users points may be weighted (see below under optional items).
-Newest – Most recently added descriptions
-Most Available – Descriptions with the most classified ads (tickets) attached to them
-Regional – Clickable map above. Below, sorted by state and then city with a number in parentheses showing how many offers exist for the particular city. Cities can be added.

Connected to the descriptions will be free classified advertisements called Tickets. The site will enable registered users (free registration) to post free classified tickets for the exact product in the description if they have one that they would like to sell. In the same way, users may also post a tickets under a product description if they are looking to buy one of the described products.

Tickets will include the following information:
-Product Title – This is automatically populated from the description that the new ticket is being connected to
-Link to the “Description” the ticket is associated with. Again, this is automatically populated.
-”For Sale” or “Looking to Buy” designation
-Price (determined by creator of ticket – This can be the same or different from the retail price on the description
-Payment methods accepted or offered, depending on whether it is a “For Sale” or “Looking to Buy” ticket. (eg. PayPal, Google Checkout, personal check)
-Any information that will be needed or given upon completion of the sale (ex. Name and address, telephone number, etc.)
-Detailed user score information – This is the score of the individual posting the ticket. It is derived from e-Bay style feedback from other users in prior transactions.
-The creating user’s ID or name will be kept anonymous at this stage

After you click on a product description, you will see the tickets below it that users have added that are associated with that product. If there are more “For Sale” tickets, these will show first, and there will be a tab to click for “Looking to Buy” tickets. If there are more “Looking to Buy” tickets, then the opposite will take place. There will be a couple of boxes you can check above the tickets to select “show only FOR SALE tickets” or “show only LOOKING TO BUY tickets”.

Users will then have the ability to sort tickets after clicking into a product description. They can sort by the following fields:
-Ticket creator’s user score high to low
-Ticket creator’s user score low to high
-Ticket price high to low
-Ticket price low to high

When a user accepts a ticket (ex. They want to buy a product offered in a “For Sale” ticket), the original creator of the ticket (not necessarily the creator of the description) is notified and asked if they would also like to accept. This gives them a chance to look at the receiving party’s detailed user score before completing the transaction. The receiving party is also kept anonymous at this stage.

If the offering party accepts:

-Both parties are prompted to make payment of our fee to the website. The fee will initially be heavily discounted for the first months of site operation, but they need to see that in the future, the fee will be the greater of $2 or 10% of the product cost. We will accept payment via PayPal or Google Checkout, including credit cards used via either of these payment gateways,
-When payment is made, usernames are revealed to the two parties, and the two users may begin to communicate through messaging each other in the user message area (not the forum messaging area) to exchange pertinent information.
-User messages must be automatically filtered to prevent the exchanging of email addresses, etc.
o If attempting to submit a message with a filtered word/s, the writer gets a
notice telling them “Unless you wish to edit, the following words will be
removed from your post in accordance with our terms..” The removed words
will be highlighted in red in the message. They will then have the option
to click “Edit” or “Submit”. An alert with the original message as typed
before filtering will be sent to the board moderator and site admin for
their information.
-The two parties are able to rate each other any time after payment. Ratings will include:
o An overall rating of one to five stars
o Sub-category ratings (these do not affect the overall rating)
_ Timeliness of money transferred
_ Accuracy of the ticket information
_ Communication
o An optional text review of 140 characters or less
-The two parties’ ratings of each other are not published until BOTH RATINGS have been submited, unless:
o If the receiving party’s rating has been submitted for 5 full calendar days
already with no rating submitted from the offering party. In this case, the
receiving party’s rating is published and the offering party no longer has
the opportunity to rate the receiver.
o If the receiving party never completes a rating, then no ratings will be
published, even if the offering party has submitted a rating to be
published.

If the offering party does not accept the receiver, the offering party is asked if they need to block this kind of offer or this user in the future, leading them to a new page
-Offering party may block
o the same offer from the same user,
o and/ or the user altogether,
o and/ or the same offer from all users

User Forum considerations
-users can add to each others’ forum reputation scores as at slickdeals.net user forum
-separate forum private messages
-filters on posts and private messages (with clear warnings as in the main site user messages above)
-free registration
-normal forum capabilities for registered users – search, avatar, etc.

Optional Items

*Even if these items are not implemented initially, the site must be constructed so that they may be added later if desired.

-The ability to add a ticket to your “Watching” list of tickets you want to consider for the future.
-A link beside the search box for “Ticket Search” where you may search only tickets b(not descriptions) by a key word(s)
-If a product expires before the expiration date, a user can tag the description as expired through a link on the description that says “Mark as Expired”. When this is done, a statement in red text will be put on the description that says “A user has tagged this product description as expired. Please vote it expired or active here.” The product will become expired when it reaches a certain number of votes of expiration from users. If the point balance goes to zero or a negative number from people voting it active, the warning in red will go away.
-Safari compatibility is a plus.
-The ability to change the site’s background/ wallpaper from time to time is a bonus.
-When users vote on the rating of an offer, or whether an offer is expired, their points are weighted. Here are things that give weight to a user’s vote:
o 10 points for completed sales transaction
o If 4 stars user rating, multiply transaction points by 2. If 5 stars,
multiply by 3

o 2 points for each level of Forum Rating attained
o 1 point for each portion of a year as a user
o 1 point for each 10 Forum posts
- User’s points can be set to 0 by admin if I don’t want their vote to count.

Graphic Design Considerations

-The “For Sale” And “Looking To Buy” tickets should be differing colors.
-A female graphic artist is preferable.
-no Adobe Flash
-appealing to both genders and a variety of ages and demographics
-clean looking
-offers should be enclosed in an empty, rounded rectangle
-tickets should be enclosed in the shape of a luggage tag
-minimal javascript if any
-800 pixel fixed width – non-scaling, but with a backdrop/ wallpaper color or pattern behind it
-pleasing color scheme, with colors used to highlight important areas of the page
-logo stands out, is trademarked and integrated with surrounding graphics and slogan
o I can provide some direction on the logo
-rounded corners
-shading and reflection for depth
-good use of white space
-unique, eye-catching
-very obvious search bar
-possible use of elements from US paper currency
-favicon

Classified Ads With a Kick, For a Particular Product Line

This website will deal with a specific type of product, which I will keep confidential for the time being. The type of product involved does typically have an expiration date. The site’s primary content will be “descriptions” of many of the hundreds of products that fall within this product line we are dealing with. These descriptions may be created by admins or by registered users of the site. Users will attach free classified advertisements called “tickets” to these descriptions. The site will initially begin with no content at all. All content will be added by the site admin (me), or users. Users will have an eBay-style private message area where they may receive and respond to messages from site admin and other users they are completing a deal with. A blog and community forum will also be attached to the site.

The site must be compatible with IE 6, 7, 8, and Firefox. An per-existing or custom content management system will be necessary in order to allow me to make changes when necessary. The CMS must afford differing levels of control between system admins and site moderators. Written in Pphp using a LAMP setup (Linux, Apache, MySql, php). I would like the ability to add one-line text ads throughout the page. I would like to be able to add Google AdWords text ads on the sides of the page.

The timeframe for completion is 3 and one half months, with a two week beta testing period.

Please provide separate quotes for coding, design, and both together. You may separate the optional items or include them in the quote as you wish.

The descriptions will include the following information: product title, product description, retail price, optional link to corresponding forum post, optional expiration date, optional links to product info, and number of completed sales of this product on the website IF greater than zero. This sales number will of course be dynamic content. There will also be a place for users to vote the described product up or down. A description may only be edited by the creator, the site admin, or a moderator that the admin has assigned.

The home page will show various featured product descriptions. There will be a search box to search for product descriptions by key word(s). The search results may then be sorted by the following fields: Featured (default), Popular, Rating, Newest, Most Available, and Expired. Continue reading for descriptions of these fields.

The home page will have navigation tabs at the top, which sort the descriptions in different ways for the user. The tabs will be: Featured (default), Popular, Rating, Newest, Most Available, Regional, and Expired. When clicking on a tab, the entire web page will change. I would like to limit the use of AJAX and advanced technologies. No Flash is to be used.

Here are how the descriptions are sorted either by clicking tabs, or by sorting a key word search:

-Featured: Description order is determined by internal site administrator (me)
-Popular: Products described that have the most completed sales on our website come first (see below for more information on how this sales process works)
-Rating – The product description’s rating as voted by users. Users points may be weighted (see below under optional items).
-Newest – Most recently added descriptions
-Most Available – Descriptions with the most classified ads (tickets) attached to them
-Regional – Clickable map above. Below, sorted by state and then city with a number in parentheses showing how many offers exist for the particular city. Cities can be added.

Connected to the descriptions will be free classified advertisements called Tickets. The site will enable registered users (free registration) to post free classified tickets for the exact product in the description if they have one that they would like to sell. In the same way, users may also post a tickets under a product description if they are looking to buy one of the described products.

Tickets will include the following information:

I have a website that runs on wordpress: http://tinyurl.com/l3z8j7 and
the theme I use is Aperture from Woothemes. The site has an adult nature.

I need to have a number of tasks done :

1) Would like a page where a new person can go to get started. This should be a page which aggregates specific posts tagged “get started”. I believe that the plugin called “AZIndex” (already in the plugnins on the site – not activeted yet. ) can do this. Check out the website http://azindex.englishmike.net/ to see if this plugin will work for that.
- either install and setup this plugin to allow me to create a page that aggregates all the posts marked “getting started”
- or-
- find another way to do this
–> the task is complete when a page is created that aggregates these particular posts, shows a short exceprt of the post as well as the picture associated with the post

2)Archives Page:
- problem: the theme comes with a standard archives page template, which doesn’t seem to be working
–> the task is complete when the archives page works as seen in woothemes.com demo of the theme

3) Newsletter Sign-Up Page:
- the problem: the code from aweber for capturing a name and e-mail address from a visitor doesn’t fit well into the theme.
–> the task is completed when the sign up page text fits the CSS for a page in the theme (font, formating, etc.)

4) Post Template: “Site Review”
- idea: to have a special posting template to be used for reviewing sites. This template should always have certain specific content sections (standard information about the type of site being reviewed…I will send you the content fields for this) displayed at the beginning of each post, before the actual text review of the website. The standard content block can be of slightly different colored background and have a frame around it – see the example of “RabbitsReviews.com” given in the video. The template should also have the same image resizer and image association function as the other posts do in the theme. This will then allow a picture to be associated and displayed for the post when it is being aggregated on a page.
–> the task is completed when a post template is created that has a standard layout and content sections as described and discussed. This template can be used to create posts and that these can be aggregated on a page with an associated image….as described in the next task

5) Aggregation Page for Site Reviews
- the idea: I would like to have a page which aggregates the sites reviewed (each site is reviewed as a post). This page would normally call the most recent 10 sites reviewed on the first displayed page but would offer an arrow at the bottom to see more pages (each page with 10 site review posts displayed). The aggregated site review posts will be excerpts of the first 40 words from the post plus the headline, the associated image will be shown to the right of the text, and the complete excerpt will be framed with a light-colored dotted. PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING DEMO SITE AS AN EXAMPLE: http://www.studiopress.com/demo/streamline.html (the posts listed, below the picture are a good example of what I mean)
special filter function: it will be necessary to have a filter function that users could use that would call up and list sites based upon specific grouping data (listed sites would be displayed looking the same as described above). For example, a user could filter and see only sites rated at 4 stars and above, or sites that have contests to particiapte it. The filtering/sorting criteria would be drawn form the “standardized fields” described in the special post template above.
–> the task is complete when a page is created that can aggregate and display these posts as descibed above and discussed as well as when the filtering/sorting function works.

6) Post Template: “Couples”
- the idea: to have template which has certain standardized fields to use when reviewing couples. This template should always have certain specific content sections (I will provide you with this information).This is very similar to the “site review” template, in essence. One important function/feature of this template is that it should allow for is that there should a large space at the top for featureing a picture or embedding a video form the couple…this should look similar to the On Demand theme, shown in the video.
–> the task is complete when the post template is completed as described.

7)CSS For Text:
the benchmark for the text usage and legibility is http://www.problogger.com
Standard post text should have the following charcteristcs:
- font: Verdana or Tahoma
- font-size: 1.4 em;
- line-height: 1.6 em;
- margin: 0 0 1.5;
–> task is complete when blog text changes made to CSS

Post Template (for all types of posts)
- the idea: to include more information about the author at the end of post (short author blurb, I’ll provide these as well as description of look and feel), have similar or recommended posts in order to keep reader reading on the blog, buttons that allow the post to be “Tweeted” or added to Facebook
–> the task is complete when at the end of each post the author blurb, 3 similar posts are suggested (these should be inserted to the left side between the “previous post” and “next post” and a “tweet this” and “add to facebook” buttons are displayed also on the left side, below the “next post” link

——————

I need someone to start work on this and finish the majority of these tasks in TWO days.

Please don’t bid or contact us to let us know how great your company is and how you could do so much of a better job for more money.

The objective of this project is to rebuild and redesign Wootpro.com which is a Woot Tracking Website.

There is existing code for the site however we wish for it to be used only as reference and prefer a complete recode of the site.
The site needs to be coded in ASP and capable of running on a Windows 2003/IIS server with the utilization on a MySQL backend if needed and utilizing CSS.
The code needs to be clean and optimized to minimize server and bandwidth utilization.
The site also needs to be cross browser compatible, and search engine optimized as best as possible (We realize this is not an SEO project).

Feature requirements for the site:

- The site is primarily advertising and donation supported.
Each page/section needs to be able to display up-to 8 different ads including Google ads optimized to show ads relevant to the current product on Woot.com.
Each ad zone needs to be configurable within an admin panel to refresh as different intervals, track displays, track clicks and add/remove/enable/disable ads.
Contextual & Inline ads need to be able to display for all text located on the site including item description.

- The information displayed on the site needs to be refreshed within a certain time variable configured in an admin panel.
The page should not need to reload to refresh the information, but only sections whose information has changed should refresh (possible Ajax)

- The site needs to be able to detect a woot off and change settings dynamically in this situation.
The refresh rate of the above sections need to go into Wootoff mode and based on settings in admin panel.

- The site needs to play an audio file for 4 scenarios, each with its own audio:
New woot item.
Woot item at or below 2%.
Woot item sold out.
Bag of crap woot item (in the instance, it will also need to open a new page with the order page for item being sold on woot.com) for paying members.
Audio files should only play once for each instance except for paying members who should be able to configure when the files play, and how often.
The page should also be able to grab focus of the screen, a feature which can be enabled by paying members.

- The site will need to have multiple pages contained in navigation tabs including:
+ Main page containing:
Woot off indicator.
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page).
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Description of item formatted as it is on Woot.com.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Sale stats snapshot as shown on woot.com with ability to click and expand without leaving site/page.
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
Statistics of current item being sold during previous sales.
+ Mini tracker page containing:
Woot off indicator.
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page).
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
+ Text only tracker page containing:
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
+past items page as seen here with full statistics:
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/past-items/past-items-100-items.html
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/woot-statistics.html
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/boc_items/
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/predictions.html
+ Contact us page / Advertise here page
+ Signup for membership page:
Give users the ability to signup using PayPal via either monthly or annual membership to be determined later via admin panel.
Once signed up, they will need to have a user panel where they can update their information, opt out of mailings, and customize sections of site as described within project.
+ Existing members page as described above.
*all pages will need to meet the advertising scheme described above.
*all pages need to contain a title showing the % left of current item and its name, visible to search engines.
-Each page needs to have a dynamic link to Digg optimized for current item.
-Site needs to have a common footer display load times, information, copyright and number of active users, number of members on site.
-A link needs to be available to test focus grabbing and audio alerts.

- Backend:
Dynamic .gif or .jpg banners need to be generated displaying an ad for the site and what it’s tracking, and % left to be used by members as forum signatures.
Site needs to automatically and immediately post an ad in the woot forums once a new item is available. You can see this by visiting the woot forums.
Site needs to allow all users to sign up for membership, but allow them to pay for upgrades enabling above features.
Admin Site needs to allow for e-mails sent to all users, paying users.
Site also needs to send a welcome email for each paid, and free users.
An admin panel which allows for management of site and users.
Allows for reporting of users and due payments with ability to e-mail users letting them know their membership is due for renewal and ability to suspend their account where if they log in, they are taken to a payment page.

- Anything else that may come up as fine tuning during project.

–> the task is complete when a page is created that can aggregate and display these posts as descibed above and discussed as well as when the filtering/sorting function works.

6) Post Template: “Couples”
- the idea: to have template which has certain standardized fields to use when reviewing couples. This template should always have certain specific content sections (I will provide you with this information).This is very similar to the “site review” template, in essence. One important function/feature of this template is that it should allow for is that there should a large space at the top for featureing a picture or embedding a video form the couple…this should look similar to the On Demand theme, shown in the video.
–> the task is complete when the post template is completed as described.

7)CSS For Text:
the benchmark for the text usage and legibility is http://www.problogger.com
Standard post text should have the following charcteristcs:
- font: Verdana or Tahoma
- font-size: 1.4 em;
- line-height: 1.6 em;
- margin: 0 0 1.5;
–> task is complete when blog text changes made to CSS

Post Template (for all types of posts)
- the idea: to include more information about the author at the end of post (short author blurb, I’ll provide these as well as description of look and feel), have similar or recommended posts in order to keep reader reading on the blog, buttons that allow the post to be “Tweeted” or added to Facebook
–> the task is complete when at the end of each post the author blurb, 3 similar posts are suggested (these should be inserted to the left side between the “previous post” and “next post” and a “tweet this” and “add to facebook” buttons are displayed also on the left side, below the “next post” link

I need someone to start work on this and finish the majority of these tasks by tomorrow morning EST.

The budget for this project is $100.00 USD max.
Please don’t bid or contact us to let us know how great your company is and how you could do so much of a better job for more money.

The objective of this project is to rebuild & redesign Wootpro.com which is a Woot Tracking Website.

There is existing code for the site however we wish for it to be used only as reference and prefer a complete recode of the site.
The site needs to be coded in ASP and capable of running on a Windows 2003/IIS server with the utilization on a MySQL backend if needed and utilizing CSS.
The code needs to be clean and optimized to minimize server and bandwidth utilization.
The site also needs to be cross browser compatible, and search engine optimized as best as possible (We realize this is not an SEO project).

Feature requirements for the site:

- The site is primarily advertising and donation supported.
Each page/section needs to be able to display up-to 8 different ads including Google ads optimized to show ads relevant to the current product on Woot.com.
Each ad zone needs to be configurable within an admin panel to refresh as different intervals, track displays, track clicks and add/remove/enable/disable ads.
Contextual & Inline ads need to be able to display for all text located on the site including item description.

- The information displayed on the site needs to be refreshed within a certain time variable configured in an admin panel.
The page should not need to reload to refresh the information, but only sections whose information has changed should refresh (possible Ajax)

- The site needs to be able to detect a woot off and change settings dynamically in this situation.
The refresh rate of the above sections need to go into Wootoff mode and based on settings in admin panel.

- The site needs to play an audio file for 4 scenarios, each with its own audio:
New woot item.
Woot item at or below 2%.
Woot item sold out.
Bag of crap woot item (in the instance, it will also need to open a new page with the order page for item being sold on woot.com) for paying members.
Audio files should only play once for each instance except for paying members who should be able to configure when the files play, and how often.
The page should also be able to grab focus of the screen, a feature which can be enabled by paying members.

- The site will need to have multiple pages contained in navigation tabs including:
+ Main page containing:
Woot off indicator.
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page).
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Description of item formatted as it is on Woot.com.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Sale stats snapshot as shown on woot.com with ability to click and expand without leaving site/page.
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
Statistics of current item being sold during previous sales.
+ Mini tracker page containing:
Woot off indicator.
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page).
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
+ Text only tracker page containing:
Current woot item.
Price of item.
Shipping for item.
Condition of item.
Availability of item (100%….to sold out) or none listed if no woot off.
Link to discuss item on woot.com
Button to order item linking to order url.
Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate).
+past items page as seen here with full statistics:
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/past-items/past-items-100-items.html
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/woot-statistics.html
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/boc_items/
and
http://www.bagsofcrap.com/predictions.html
+ Contact us page / Advertise here page
+ Signup for membership page:
Give users the ability to signup using PayPal via either monthly or annual membership to be determined later via admin panel.
Once signed up, they will need to have a user panel where they can update their information, opt out of mailings, and customize sections of site as described within project.
+ Existing members page as described above.
*all pages will need to meet the advertising scheme described above.
*all pages need to contain a title showing the % left of current item and its name, visible to search engines.
-Each page needs to have a dynamic link to Digg optimized for current item.
-Site needs to have a common footer display load times, information, copyright and number of active users, number of members on site.
-A link needs to be available to test focus grabbing and audio alerts.

- Backend:
Dynamic .gif or .jpg banners need to be generated displaying an ad for the site and what it’s tracking, and % left to be used by members as forum signatures.
Site needs to automatically and immediately post an ad in the woot forums once a new item is available. You can see this by visiting the woot forums.
Site needs to allow all users to sign up for membership, but allow them to pay for upgrades enabling above features.
Admin Site needs to allow for e-mails sent to all users, paying users.
Site also needs to send a welcome email for each paid, and free users.
An admin panel which allows for management of site and users.
Allows for reporting of users and due payments with ability to e-mail users letting them know their membership is due for renewal and ability to suspend their account where if they log in, they are taken to a payment page.

- Anything else that may come up as fine tuning during project.

Background

For this assignment, you complete a program to play the game of “Twenty-one” (also called “Blackjack”).

The general idea of Twenty-one is as follows. There are two players, the customer and the dealer. The dealer deals a card face down to the customer, then a card face up to herself (the up-card), then another card to the customer and another card to herself, both face down. In most cases, the customer may then ask for more cards, one at a time. The dealer does the same, and the hand is resolved. The object of the game is to be dealt a set of cards whose total value is as close to 21 as possible without going over.

Cards are dealt from a deck of 52. There are four cards in the deck with value 2, four with value 3, and so on up to value 9; there are sixteen cards with value 10 (four 10′s and twelve face cards: four jacks, four queens, and four kings); and there are four cards (“aces”) whose value may be either 1 or 11 depending on the value of a player’s remaining cards. For both players, an ace counts 11 unless the hand total is more than 21, in which case it counts 1.

For our purposes, the actual play of the game proceeds as follows. Each player receives two cards as described above. If the dealer’s cards total 21
