I am looking to create a PHP and MySQL website for a new online matchmaking/quiz portal similar to [login to view URL] and okcupid.com. On the quiz side, the site will host several regular tests that all members can take (showing limited results), and then premium tests that I have developed solely for premium subscribers (similar to [login to view URL]'s business model). On the matchmaking side, we are looking for typical social networking features such as instant messaging, mail messaging, chatrooms, and friend networks. The complete site is in many ways similar to the current [login to view URL] site (which has social networking and quiz results) plus [login to view URL] features.
I will pay COMPETITIVE rates for a TOP-NOTCH programmer with a great track record of relevant experiences who can quickly build off of his previous knowledge to quickly develop the site, and contribute intelligent, top-notch, functional, and well designed (and well documented) code!
My company is [login to view URL], and I have a number of projects in our pipeline, so there is LONGTERM potential for top candidates. Novice programmers without relevant experiences working on dating/social networking sites NEED NOT APPLY. Please let me know your resume, interests, and previous projects. I want to know what you learned, what you did right, and what you did wrong.
