Project: Clone of dog/pet breeder directory site, except I will provide the graphics because the top existing websites have obviously very poor, cheap-quality graphics.
[I selected 'Wordpress' and 'Drupal' as part of the description because they have excellent CMS programming and we can use these as the platform/base and do the modifications to accommodate the clone.]
Please see following links for examples to clone for all features (but we will not clone the design because the design looks rather cheap):

DETAILS
=======================
-----It's #1 priority is search engine optimisation, #2 is elegant
appearance. #2 I can take care of easily, I am a graphic designer and will provide all needed designs. #1 search engine optimisation, I can try to find a good company to optimize the heck out of the website, or maybe you could put forth a proposal.
Breeders(dot)net is obviously extremely very heavily SEO'd. I'd like the
website to be highest in rank possible. I know it will take a good
amount of time for the results to actually show, and good-quality
literature must be written. DONT' WORRY about the writing, I write for a living so I will provided all written material. I just need to be guided on how many words in the paragraph, how many keywords in the paragraph, etc.
-----It needs a small log-in panel for breeders so they can log-in and
change images, change their name, etc. Not too complex (yet). All the
websites charge between $25 US to $50 US per year for breeders to join
and be a part of the directory. Right now I cannot charge anything
(zero) because the website is new and nobody will want to join. So for
now I am going to charge nothing, but in the future, it will need the
ability to automatically charge people $25 (or whatever) annually,
temporarily 'deactive' accounts that haven't been renewed yet, and
send ('Friendly reminder that your account will end in 1 month...
etc") messages.
-----basic features: ad placement, registration, featured breeder listings- all these are very easy, basic parts that the above websites have and will need to be cloned.
-----inner admin CMS panel to contain, for example: static pages management, news management, breeders listings management, articles management {which is why using Drupal or Wordpress as a frame would be excellent}, subscription management}, etc.
-----PSD's are not complete because obviously, we will need to work
together on that, I will provide all the graphic design, but you will
tell me what needs to designed according to SEO needs (Every SEO
expert knows that before you make a website, you must prepare the
frame and design for SEO also). However, I will make graphics as clean
and simple as possible for loading and SEO. *****all photoshop graphics will need to be converted from PSD files to 100% valid CSS/XHTML, NO MESSY TABLES!!!)
===================================================
Let me know the estimated quotes, along with a small breakdown in
charges.
Programmer with feedbacks and *lowest, reasonable* bid will be chosen. I prefer to deal with programmers from India and Philippines as I have observed good work ethic. But if you are excellent in English, good feedback, I may consider you too.
