UX Designer and PHP Programmer for Dating Site Customization

Hello talented UX designers and PHP programmers! We are seeking an experienced and creative UX designer and PHP programmer to assist us in customizing our dating site, which is currently running on Chameleon dating software. We have exciting new features in mind that will enhance the user experience and improve interactions on our platform. Project Scope: Redesign the User Interface: We want the site to have a fresh and modern look that aligns with our brand. The entire site needs to be redesigned to provide a seamless user experience. We will provide you with a reference site for inspiration, and you'll need to create a design that emulates its visual elements while maintaining our unique identity. Chat Moderators System: Implement a chat moderators system, where designated moderators log in to the platform and respond to user messages. The admin should have the ability to deselect profiles that are not to be answered by moderators, allowing girls using the account themselves to interact directly. For moderation purposes, it's important to note that girls can use the site for free. Credits System: We require a credits system for our users to interact with female profiles. Customers will need to purchase credits to initiate chats and use other site features. Send Her a Gift: Integrate a feature that allows users to send gifts to female profiles. When a user selects the "Send Her a Gift" option, they will be taken to a shop where they can purchase flowers or other small gifts. Admins should have the ability to add new products to the shop through the admin panel. Additionally, once a girl receives a gift, the admin can upload a picture of the girl with the gift, which will be sent to the customer as a notification. "Date Her" Button: Implement a "Date Her" button that enables users to request and book a date or meetup at one of our social events. Users can select a preferred date and other details when making their booking request. Admins will receive the booking request through the admin panel and can then confirm or deny it. To ensure meaningful connections, users should have exchanged at least 10 letters with the girl before requesting a date. Live Chat with Girls: Implement a live chat feature where users can engage in real-time conversations with girls. The chat will be billed on a fixed minute rate of x credits for every minute of conversation. The rate for the live chat should be adjustable in the admin panel for future flexibility. Automatic Messages from Girls: Enable automatic messages from girl profiles to engage users in conversation. These automated messages should be intelligently designed to feel natural and spark user interest. Long-term Freelancer: We are looking for a candidate who can be our attached freelancer, providing ongoing support for future fixes, updates, and add-ons to the site. Billing Page Redesign: Redesign the billing page itself to improve the user experience and make it easier for customers to purchase credits. IN GENERAL, the WHOLE website need a redesign according to the " Redesign the User Interface " description. Requirements: Experience: Demonstrable experience in UX/UI design and PHP programming is essential. Prior experience with dating site development and customization will be a significant advantage. Skills: Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL is required. Creativity: A strong ability to create visually appealing and user-friendly designs that align with our brand and the provided reference site. Problem-solving: Capable of tackling complex tasks, such as implementing the chat moderators system, live chat functionality, and the credits system effectively. Communication: Excellent communication skills are crucial for understanding the project requirements and providing updates throughout the development process.
