Require those who have experience in dating sites (please advise of url) 1 We need you to provide 3 online dating social networking sites that respectively address singles within specific theatres, such as for exclusives, same sex individuals, general public and for the erotically inclined. Each of these websites, addressing very diversified markets, will need to be designed to appeal to those markets. They will share the same common underlying platform in terms of functionality, but will each be self-contained, completely separate websites providing travel packages, events, and giving paid members the peace of mind that all paid members are screened for fraud for protection purposes. The sites will allow online credit card transactions through PayPal for membership signups, event and travel bookings. Website Design Proposal 3 Proposed Solution 3.1 Solution Overview Each site will allow members to sign up for free, chat, email and interact for free, however, free members cannot see or interact with subscribed (paying) members. Free members will pay a defined monthly fee which will entitle them to the Membership area where benefits include seeing and interacting with all members, participating in singles events such as evenings and group travel deals, as well as the peace of mind that all paying members are screened through a 3rd party ID Verification technology EMPS.co.za.(emps?) A key niche feature is the travel promotions. For each site, we would like to pre-book travel packages and advertise them on the paid members area, whereby these members can opt in on the travel package and paying online to attend such events. There is no direct link/integration to any travel systems. We will manually make these bookings with various providers, and advertise them on one of the 3 relevant websites, where members opt in and pay. They can invite their friends on the site, members and non-members, but non-members would first need to pay for a full membership to be entitled to the travel offer. The dating section of each site must provide the general profile metadata information such as: • Name, Surname • Age • Build, Height • Date of Birth • Occupation • Favourite SA holiday destination • Interested in Group Singles Travel • Believes in Star Sign Matching • Interested in Singles Group Nights Website Design Proposal • Upload 2x pics • Sex • Indicate Vetted Member – i.e. can invite to travel and singles nights • Province • Zip Code The search facility allows members to search for other members, however, free membership members cannot see paid membership members. Furthermore, free members are not entitled to travel and single nights offers/promotions whereas paid members have access to all these benefits as well as peace of mind with the screening feature. The payment process will use PayPal, thus eliminating the burden of a merchant account with a bank and PayPal simply takes a percentage of every transaction for service fees. The user pays online, undergoes an automated fraud check through [login to view URL], and upon success the member is approved immediately. Upon failure, the user is denied the membership and potentially refunded or the fraud case alerted for further investigation and possible banning from the site. The Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use should cover and protect the business and its operations from all possible events and loopholes. Paid members can at any time invite a free member to subscribe – whether it be from a connection or a search. For the Travel feature, we will pre-arrange trips and advertise them on the sites accordingly. Members can then see the available slots and click to add themselves where they must pay 50% to secure their spot. Members can view who is going and communicate with the other travellers to the destination. The final 50% must be paid within a specified window period to confirm the booking. Itinerary if necessary will be sent manually from Paul to the members. Paid members can also create their own trips by selecting a pre-loaded package, and having exclusivity to inviting their own attendees. Policies would need to be in place to ensure the slots are filled timeously in order not to forfeit the package entirely. In this case as well, the organiser can search for other members, add them to the trip and pay for them. Website Design Proposal The Event Nights work the same as the travel, in that Events are pre-loaded by us and members can pay and add themselves to events or alternatively take ownership of an event and invite and pay for other members or have the other members pay for themselves. Again, this is only open to paid members. Finally, a reporting tool must be built to allow analytics across all five websites to track trends. Each site will have its own analytics and reporting, but there needs to be a unified reporting feature to report across all sites. The 3 domains for the 3 websites will be (in order of website development priority): 1. www. 2. www. 3. www. 3.2 Solution Features Each website will be built to provide state of the art web content management capabilities with a modular design approach to provide this solution allowing for longevity in enhancements, growth, features and options as each website matures and the business grows. The web content management features will allow full management of content, pages, users, payments, profiles, banners, contacts, menus, memberships, pricing and more. 3.2.1 Dating Component The main features of the dating component are: • Member Pages with fully configurable fields! • Photo and Video Gallery • Comment System (page owner can delete any comment on his page or report them to the admin) • Messaging System (users can create, send and receive personal messages) Website Design Proposal • Interaction System (sending kisses between users) • Rating System • Friends List (including pending requests; user can set the page status visible only for friends) • Ignore List (to avoid spamming or any unwanted contact) • Advanced Search (to find friends or matches after certain criterias like gender, age, etc., criterias which are fully configurable by the administrator from the existing page fields. • Radius Search (using Google maps). • Membership Plans with integrated Payment Gateway: Paypal The Administrator of the system will have: • Dashboard. The dashboard will display different statistics, user count and levels, latest users, latest payments, latest reports. • User List. Configurable member level, ban option and user details including Reports & Payments. • Reports List. Administrator can see reports, act (ban, send warning, delete) and set their status. • Payments. List of existing payments where the administrator can edit the status in case they require manual approval (for payments with IPN, but as pending, processing, etc.) • Pricing. Membership levels can be created, where different prices on each level can be set, for certain time periods. Various other settings: • General settings (enable/disable user comments, user messages, user rating, user email notifies, number of search results shown per page, allow guests to view user pages, send membership notification, terms and conditions acceptance) • Photo settings (set images size for photo maximum width and height, thumbnail maximum width and height) • Membership settings (enable each level, set title, set maximum allowed number of photos and friends) • Payment Gateway (set current currency, enable/disable payment gateway, Paypal e-mail address configuration) • Notifications (edit email content of warning messages and notifications) • Terms & Conditions (edit) We will also create on the front end: Website Design Proposal • Latest Member block • Random Member block 3.2.2 Event/Travel Component This component will be built to meet the precise solution requirements allowing the site administrator to create free or paid events where single users or groups can register and pay online immediately with PayPal. Features will include: • Nested categories to organize your events across infinite categories and subcategories. • Events management allowing you to create and manage events from back-end of your site to create both free event and paid events. Users will be able to browse for events and register themselves for this event from front-end. • Collect registrants information (both individual and group registration ) when they register for your events. You can collect basic information (first name, last name,…..) and any information you want using custom fields. • Group and Individual Registration support: Users can register for an event by individual or for a group. For group registration, users will be able enter necessary information of all members in the group. With group rate setting for each event, you will be able to give discount for group registration. • Free and Paid event support: You can create free or paid events. For paid events, registrants can pay for it via Online Payment gateway : PayPal • Registrants management will allow you to manage all the registrants from back-end of your site. You can view, edit, or delete registrants. We will provide an export feature to export registrants into CSV format and view it in Excel for easier booking and management of itinerary with actual event host. • Custom fields feature. • Waiting list feature 3.3 Third Party Integration Development 3.3.1 Consumer Verification System Integration to the actual PayPal live account of yours. 4 Project Delivery 4.1 Project Delivery Prioritisations It has been requested to develop the websites in the following prioritisation: 1. www. 2. www. 3. www.
