Hello! Sounds like a simple project. Needs to be done by May 2nd? First off, do you have hosting/domain name, or would I be responsible for setting that up? If so, I really just need the ftp info and the database info. I'll use a SESSION id login, and double hash the users passwords. The hashing takes place in the code, so they will be hashed before being submitted to the database, salted with the users email. After that it just requires a simple twitter api and search. So before accepting, I would need to know
Do you have hosting?
if so,
Have you purchased a domain name?
if so,
Do you have info to the database?
Also, will you be applying for the Twitter API? It is done off of a twitter username, and is linked to that user. So if you would like to maintain the site after i've finished, you would want it to be linked to you, or you can set up your own and i'll replace the code with your details before completing.
Hope to hear back from you!
