We are looking to use Drupal as the CMS for our Scuba Diving website and have functional specifications already documented for the front end and admin panel. Additionally, we have pdf documents which detail the front end/admin panel design which must then be used to create custom themes in Drupal. This is a very large project that we will break down into many small milestones in which we seek deliverables on our server every 2-4 weeks depending on the actual milestone. Acceptance testing must also occur on our server and as such all source code and other deliverables must reside there prior to the beginning of the test period.
We are looking to create a long term relationship with the right development partner and will assist them throughout the entire development process. This partner must sign NDA and work for hire agreement. For each milestone, we will need a breakdown of cost for each section included in a milestone. Additionally, at the start of the project, we will place all funds for the related milestone into escrow and when all deliverables have been met and testing has been conducted on our server and all bugs fixed, if applicable, escrow will be released and we will move on to the next milestone.
Our first milestone will contain homepage as well as social networking features which include ability for individuals, businesses, groups to register as well as many facebook like features such as wall, newsfeed, dive buddy requests, chat, messages, photos, videos, events, memos etc. This milestone must be delivered to our server within 2 months of the actual start date. We are looking to begin on or before February 29 and have hard set timeframes for this milestone.
Additional future milestones will include SDTN Blog, Dive News, Travel Articles, Technical Articles, and Dictionary, photo/video gallery, and many others.
We will look to review 3-5 Live DRUPAL active sites that you have built with Drupal that have the features we are looking to implement. We will also look to speak with references. Please also supply your profile on Drupal.org.
Please provide your hourly rate.
