UX Designer and PHP Programmer for Dating Site Customization (Enhanced Features, Verification System, and Profile Redesign)

Please don't bid if you can't keep within budget. 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 significantly enhance the user experience and interactions on our platform. Project Scope: Alter the Chat Moderation System: Our chat moderation system is already in place, and we need you to make some specific alterations to enhance its functionality. Implement a chat moderator system that allows designated moderators to manage user messages and respond on behalf of female profiles. Additionally, introduce a "fake reply" system that provides the appearance of activity for female profiles even when they are not online. This will enhance user engagement and interactions. Automatic Chat System: Introduce an automatic chat system where female profiles will automatically initiate conversations with male profiles. To prevent overwhelming users, implement a timer to control the frequency of messages sent and set a limit on the number of profiles a user can receive messages from in a given time, such as an hour. Verification System: Implement a verification process that allows users to verify their profiles by uploading their ID along with a selfie. However, this verification will not be mandatory, and users can choose to verify or not. Admins will have the ability to mark users as "Verified," and a small visual indicator will reflect on the user's profile to show they have been verified, adding credibility and trust among users. Enhanced Search Functionality: Revamp the search feature to make it site-wide, allowing users to search for profiles across the entire platform. Additionally, provide the ability to narrow down search results based on specific cities or countries, enabling users to find matches in their desired locations. Chat Popup - Live Chat: Implement a live chat popup feature that allows real-time conversations between users and female profiles. Admins should be able to adjust the chat price through the admin panel for future flexibility. Profile Redesign: Redesign the profile structure on the site to better fit our needs and improve user engagement. Enhance the profile layout and make it more visually appealing while ensuring all necessary information is easily accessible. Page Redesign: Redesign some of the pages on the site to enhance the overall user experience. This includes updating the layout, changing colors, and optimizing the design for improved usability. Requirements: Experience: Demonstrable experience in UX/UI design and PHP programming is essential. Prior experience with dating site development and customization, particularly with chat moderator systems, automatic chat features, user verification, and profile redesigns, 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 moderator system, automatic chat system, verification process, enhanced search functionality, profile redesign, and page redesign effectively. Note: To ensure you've read and understood the job post, please include the phrase "Dating Site Pro" in your cover letter. Communication: Excellent communication skills are crucial for understanding the project requirements and providing updates throughout the development process. We look forward to receiving your applications and finding the right UX designer and PHP programmer to bring our dating site customization project, with enhanced features, verification system, profile redesign, and page redesign, to life!
