This is is a request for a rough estimate
The project is a so to speak a community portal (web site), that will incorporate but not be limited to online dating, news, business, forum, entertainment, Lifestyle, shopping, email and so on. It will need to be as dynamic as possible with lots of admin control and a solid structure designed for easy expansion. Take a look at [login to view URL] or mail.ru. It will need to resemble such websites. Ultimately the technology choice would be up to the developer. Although Open Source is preferred. However if you say that ASP or anything else is the way to go then so be it. As far as Open Source there is an osDate system ([[login to view URL]][1]) which is an open sourse solution. I think they took a lot of the structure from osCommerce. So perhaps even, the project can be based on osDate, however a lot will need to be modified and built on top. I'm not sure if it's a good idea but its worth looking into. So nonetheless, for now I need a rough estimate of the timeframe and price. All bidders will be taken into consideration.
