We are building an online marketplace / reverse auction site. The buyer will post the requirements of a product/ service and the sellers bid to offer their products/ services which match the requirements at best prices. The buyer then chooses the best bid.
We require an individual or a team of PHP developers who have experience working with iLance software or similar and successfully created an auction site or a marketplace before.
We already have the design for the site as well as a couple of PHP pages but you must be able to "skin" iLance to the design we have including CSS. Additional design may be required but only for minor pages i.e. login/register page, contact forms,etc.
Obviously you will be using iLance which means a lot of functionalities are already there and you don't have to create them from scratch. However, you will have to tie in all functionalities together and make any necessary modifications to make them work as required.
The idea is to build a robust but flexible platform with which allow us to manage it post-launch and able to add additional functionalities without any difficulty.
Please see brief specs highlighting main functionalities required.
***This project is not a vWorker competitor site as it will deal with an entirely different market.***
