Project description:
"The goal is to launch a fully-functional paid chat website that lets customers purchase time-based conversations and connect with experts through both text and audio chat. Visitors will sign up, fund their wallet or buy credits, and then initiate a session that automatically tracks duration and deducts the correct amount in real-time.

Core features needed
• Secure user registration, email verification, log-in/out, and password recovery
• Responsive chat interface supporting live text and VoIP audio (no video at this stage)
• Internal wallet / credit system with Stripe (or a comparable gateway) handling deposits, balance checks, and payouts
• Admin dashboard to create expert profiles, set per-minute pricing, review session logs, and manage disputes
• Session timer, end-of-call summaries, and downloadable invoices for both parties
• GDPR-ready data handling, HTTPS, and basic DDoS protection

Tech stack is flexible—you are welcome to propose a modern solution (for example, React + Node + WebSocket or Laravel + Vue + Pusher). Clean, well-commented code and deployment instructions are part of the final hand-off. Staging on a test server first, then migration to my live domain once approved.

Project is considered complete when:
1. A new user can register, load credits, and successfully complete paid text and audio sessions.
2. Admin can monitor those sessions and reconcile balances.
3. Source code, environment variables template, and a concise README are delivered." (client-provided description)
