I'm looking for an experienced full-stack developer/team to build a responsive social networking website, tailored for the nightlife scene. This platform will cater to users both on mobile and desktop. It is a cross between Eventbrite, Fever, Meetup, Instagram. The ideal candidate will have proven experience developing similar platforms and an understanding of user-friendly layouts.
Overview:
I am seeking someone or a team that can build an online platform dedicated to help users discover nightlife events, including after-hours parties, festivals, and more. This will cater to a diverse audience, including general users, venue owners, event promoters, and artists, providing a seamless experience across both mobile and desktop interfaces.
Key Features:
Personalized event discovery with advanced filtering options.
Integrated ticketing system with exclusive deals and VIP membership options.
Detailed venue profiles with interactive maps and user reviews.
Robust social networking features, including user profiles, posts, group chats, and a comprehensive messaging system for direct communication between all users.
Specialized dashboards for venue owners/promoters and artists/DJs.
Role-specific backend access for content moderation, customer support, and platform management.
Technical Requirements:
Responsive design for optimal mobile and desktop viewing.
Strong focus on security measures, including data encryption and user privacy.
Scalable infrastructure to support platform growth.
Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations.
Project Deliverables:
Complete frontend and backend development of the Afties platform.
Implementation of the messaging system with privacy and security features.
Integration of payment processing for ticket sales and subscriptions.
Deployment and testing across different devices and browsers.
What I want:
Homepage and Secret Password Feature
Simplicity: The homepage should feature a minimalist design with a black background and the Afties logo prominently displayed at the center or top.
Password Entry: Directly below the logo, provide a text input field labeled "Enter Password" or "Access Code." This field is where users will input a unique code they've received for exclusive event access.
Call to Action: A clear, stylish button labeled "Enter" or "Unlock" should be placed below the password field to proceed.
Functionality:
Upon entering a valid password, the user is redirected to a page detailing the exclusive event, including venue details, event description, and ticket purchase options if available.
Invalid password attempts can either prompt a subtle animation with a message like "Invalid Code - Try Again" or offer a hint/contact form for assistance.
Navigation to Main Site Features
Below the password entry section, incorporate a discreet yet intuitive navigation method to access the main site features. This could be achieved through:
Subtle Text Link or Button: A simple text link or a button labeled "Explore Afties" or "Discover More" can lead users to the full site. This option maintains the minimalist aesthetic of the homepage while providing easy access to the rest of the site.
Overlay Menu: An overlay menu icon (often represented by three lines, known as a "hamburger" menu) that, when clicked, reveals the full site navigation options. This method keeps the homepage clean while accommodating direct access to the various tabs.
Main Site Tabs
Retain the tab structure discussed for the app, adapting it to a web interface suitable for both desktop and mobile viewing. Ensure the design is responsive, with a focus on usability across different devices.
Discover: Event discovery and RSVP, with personalized recommendations.
Tickets & Deals: A hub for managing tickets and accessing exclusive deals.
Venues: Detailed venue information, profiles, and upcoming events.
Social: A space for community engagement, profiles, and group chats.
Profile & More: Personal dashboard for managing account settings and accessing additional features.
