I have a database driven website in its final stages of development. I am looking to develop a front end mobile application. This is my first mobile application so I will need someone with a lot experience and more importantly good ideas as I am not sure what is required.
**Generic (non-personal) responses to this bid will be ignored.**
To have a better understanding of the site, feel free to view this youtube video <[login to view URL]>
The website has 5 different databases. Each database has multiple search options. Here is an example of all the search options for just one of the databases <[login to view URL]> . We will need to develop a unique way of displaying all of these option. The mobile app should function just as efficiently as the website. Searching and returning results from the database.
Other ideas for features such as facebook and twitter integration will help you win the bid. I would like the application to be free to all registered users of the website... therefore integration with the current site is required.
A good example of a database driven Mobile App available for free in iTunes that I like is "blue nile" a database driven application that searches a companies diamond database.

Description:
The most important aspect of the site is the search engine.
The website is powered by 5 different databases.
Each database has three methods of extracting information
"Simple Search" "Advanced Search" and "Compare Pages"
I came up with 16 different pages that need to be created
1. Simple Search for all (5) databases
I think that one page could list the simple search options for all 5 databases
See this youtube video to better understand simple searches.
