I need a community portal, actually more or less clone of LinkedIn.com. Members shall enter their profiles (education, professional experiences, interests - to be selected from a list defined by admin, etc.), and they will invite their friend through the system.
The main features that I expect:
- System shall be able to send email (html and/or text)
- There shall be levels of membership (levels to be defined by admin)
- There shall be advertisement areas on the design (banner area, google ad area)
- Search facility for other members
- Send message to other members through system
- Some others common to community portals
I would like to fix the scope with the bidder, I want bidder to give me ideas also.
Design of the portal is extremely important. Language of the portal shall be changed easily with translating a text file. I mean, all text appear on the portal shall be on one file, and changing text in this file shall change the text in the portal.
PLEASE DON'T POST GENERAL INTRODUCTION OF YOU OR YOUR COMPANY. Simply post bid with ideas, don't forget, you need to convince me!
PRICE _DOES_ MATTER!
If you did similar job, please send your portfolio.
