DEVELOPMENT of a PENNY AUCTION SITE

Please provide:
– Estimated price to develop the key features/requirements of the site
– Estimated timescales in weeks for completion (pls include testing and dry runs) and start date. Please break this down into the project stages (eg. Build, Test, etc)
– The coding languages used and any additional required purchases (eg. Software, etc)
– Examples of similar projects you have completed. If possible, please provide a site with similar technical configuration and one with a good usability/ look and feel


INITIAL SPECIFICATION

Site Overview
– A ‘penny auction’ website that works in the same way as www.bidboogie.co.uk or www.madbid.co.uk
– Customers bid on products provided on the website. Each bid increases the auction price of the product by 1p and re-starts a timer. If the customer is the last person to bid when the time runs out, the customer wins the product.
– Customers are able to bid instantly or use an automated bidding system. The site must be able to integrate ‘live’ bids and automated bids; re-starting the timer as needed or identifying a winner.

Key Site Features/Requirements
– Easy to use, simple and clean design
– Seller registration and bidder registration
– Instant bidding. Ability to bid on a live product instantly
– Automated bidding. Customers will be able to use an ‘autobid’ function to enable the system to bid on their behalf within set parameters (ie. max number of bids prepared to make on a product). The site must account for all automated bids before closing an auction and declaring a winner.
– Payment gateway. Integration to a secure payment provider, eg. Paypal, Protx, etc
– Scheduled opening of future auctions
– SMS interaction. Ability to bid on products through mobile phone (TBC)
- Full backend database
– Secure management administration back end; ability to upload product details and control aspects of the site, needs MI on bids closed and users logged on, etc
– Additional page content; eg. Future bids (dynamic) and static pages (eg. About us, previous winners, etc)
– Search engine optimisation
– Required to install on domain of choice


Notes
– Please register to bidboogie.co.uk or madbid.co.uk to get an idea of how the site works.
– Experienced teams or companies who have already worked on and completed these type of sites preferred. Please demonstrate where you may have done this before.
– We would expect a one year warranty on your work
