Project description:
"I need a stand-alone auctions module dedicated to cars that can plug straight into our existing site. The core must feel like a real-time marketplace: bidders place live offers, receive instant outbid alerts via email, SMS and WhatsApp (using the phone that is already tethered to our PC), and can rely on proxy or maximum bids to stay competitive without sitting in front of the screen.

To keep administration painless, the back-office should let me add a vehicle once, set its expiry date, upload multiple photos, paste an external link to the full spec sheet, attach an inspection report, and define bid-increment rules (e.g. current bid 1,000; increment 50). A simple form also needs to appear for anyone who wants to list their own car in a future auction.

For buyers, every lot shows full data and photos, a one-click vehicle history report, and—after the hammer falls—remains searchable in a “Sold” archive. Upcoming auctions must display their scheduled dates in advance so visitors can bookmark favourites early.

Core deliverables
• Responsive online bidding interface with live price updates
• Admin control panel covering vehicle entry, expiry, increments, future scheduling and user-submitted listings
• Notification engine: email, SMS, WhatsApp for outbid and win alerts
• Proxy / max-bid logic
• Public pages for active lots, future lots, and completed sales, each with vehicle data, photos, inspection PDF link and optional external website link

The code should be modular, clean and ready for easy integration into our existing tech stack (please specify your preferred framework in your proposal).
