Project Detail

Description

The project is to build a nice looking, professional modeling site, where models and photographers (or agencies) can contact each other. The site can be based on one of the scripts or CMSes (like phpFox, Joomla, etc.), however, in this case it should be clear that chosen script or CMS is a well known and well supported one.

You should mention you choice and provide a simple prove of why it's suitable for this project on bidding.

One of the basic requirements for the site - it should be easily expandable in any ways - new languages (currently primal and the only language is English), new modules, new registration fields, new user types etc, etc).

We also expect a minimum of documentation along with the development. It should be clear for future developers to understand the structure of the site, modules' functions, etc.

Please provide us your portfolio of previous developments.

REQUIREMENTS

General

Quick search (country, gender, age) and extended search.
Top models, top models by country, model of the week/month sections.
Top photographers.

More adds for non-paid members.

On user registration and Search sections there should be an option which units to use - Imperial or Metric. Automatic conversion should be made between the two.

On-line payment through PayPal, MoneyBookers and other electronic wire transfer accounts.

Site should be well optimized for better search engine rankings.

Site should have a front-end login for users and back-end login for administering website.

Both models and professionals have their Portfolios. Images in portfolio are grouped according to Image Category (like in onemodelplace.com). Example of categories is - beauty, portraits, glamour, fashion, etc, etc.
