Project description:
"Project Overview
We are seeking an experienced full-stack developer or agency to design and build Aurora Elite, a high-end, mobile-responsive directory website. The platform will allow independent service providers to register, create detailed profiles, and connect with clients in a secure, premium environment.

The goal is to create a sophisticated, user-friendly, and trustworthy platform that stands out for its elegant design and seamless functionality. This is a ground-up build requiring both design and development expertise.

Core Features Required
Your proposal should cover the development of the following key features, ensuring they are intuitive and robust:

Provider Profiles: A secure registration and profile management system. Providers must be able to create, edit, and manage their profiles, including service descriptions, rates, availability, and photo/video galleries.

Advanced Search & Filtering: Clients must be able to search for providers using multiple filters, such as location, services offered, availability, price range, and other criteria. The search results should update dynamically without a full page reload.

Secure Private Messaging: An integrated, secure messaging system for clients and providers to communicate directly on the platform without revealing personal contact information.

Booking/Inquiry System: A structured contact form on each profile for clients to send detailed booking inquiries.

Admin Dashboard: A comprehensive backend for site administrators to manage users, approve/moderate profiles and content, oversee site settings, and view basic analytics.

Payment Integration: Secure payment gateway integration (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to handle provider subscription fees for listing their profiles. The system must be PCI-compliant and support recurring billing in AUD.

SEO & Performance: The site must be built with SEO best practices (clean URLs, meta tags, sitemap) and optimized for fast page load speeds.

Mobile-First Design: The entire platform must be fully responsive and provide an exceptional user experience on all devices, especially smartphones.

Design Requirements
This project includes full UI/UX design. Deliverables should include:

Branding: A unique and professional logo, color palette, and typography that conveys a luxurious and discreet feel.

UI/UX Design: Clean, intuitive, and modern layouts for all pages (homepage, search results, profiles, dashboard, etc.). The design process must be mobile-first.

Assets: All final design files (e.g., Figma, Adobe XD), logo files (vector), and a style guide.

Technology & Deliverables
Proposed Stack: Please recommend a suitable technology stack (e.g., WordPress, Laravel, MERN) and justify why it is a good fit for this project's requirements of scalability, security, and maintainability.

Final Deliverables:

A fully functional and deployed website.

Complete source code and technical documentation.

All design assets and branding guidelines.

A simple guide for administrators on how to manage the site.

Upon final payment, all intellectual property rights for the work will be transferred to us.

Project Timeline & Budget
Timeline: This is a time-sensitive project with a firm 6-week completion deadline from the start date. Please provide a high-level project plan (e.g., week-by-week milestones) demonstrating how you will meet this timeline.

Budget: We have a fixed-price budget for the entire project. Please provide a detailed cost breakdown with your proposal. The hourly rate listed on the platform is a placeholder; we will be awarding this project based on a fixed-price bid.

How to Apply
To be considered, your proposal must include:

Introduction & Portfolio: Briefly introduce yourself or your team. Provide links to at least 2-3 live examples of similar directory, marketplace, or complex web applications you have built.

Technical Approach: Your recommended technology stack and a brief explanation of your development plan.

Project Plan: A milestone breakdown that fits the 6-week timeline.

Cost Estimate: A fixed-price bid and a breakdown of costs.

Questions: Any questions you have about the project requirements.

We are looking for a skilled and reliable partner to bring this vision to life. We look forward to reviewing your proposal!" (client-provided description)
