## Deliverables
Simply put, the project will be a Craigslist-type classified ad site in Hungarian. The site will be in Hungarian, aimed at Hungarian users and will generate revenue via Hungarian Google ads. The site will copy the full user and admin functionality of craiglist, but with somewhat more developed cosmetic design elements.
Site design:
There will be no graphics or logos incorporated in the site design. The site design will be text-based, minimalist and functional. However, there will a CSS. Site design will be W3 compliant.
Functionality and Posting:
The site will perform identically to craiglist. Users will be able to post freely and easily without registration. Users will also be able to anonymize their email addresses when posting. They will also be able to upload images for inclusion in their ad.
Search:
The search function will also work as Craigslist does.
Google ads and sponsored ads:
Google ads will be fluidly incorporated into the site --- as well ad space that will be sold separately.
Databases:
Databases will be open source, such that they run on a standard Linux box.
Extensibility:
The site will be extensible and modular. It will be facile to add additional classified ad categories and make site wide design changes.
Admin Backend:
The backend will be fully functional and easy to use.
Maintenance:
Please include an estimated monthly fee for site maintenance and exactly what that fee will cover.
Please provide references as they will be contacted and your company will be vetted.
For your bid to be considered, please draft an extensive project plan. The project plan will detail the technical requirements, site usability and functionality as well as milestones and projected completion. We want a reliable long-term partner in this project. Do not bid if you have neither the experience nor the capability for a successful project of this magnitude.
Price and quality of project plan will be considered during the bidding process. The bidding process, in all likelihood, will be a two-step process. This will be the initial auction, after which selected providers will be invited to bid again once the field is narrowed down.
Please ask additional questions in the messaging areas. Thank you.

Please re-consider your bid pricing if you want to remain competitive. As I have undertaken additional research on this project, it is clear that an option for the project would be to use a turnkey solution like AJ Classifieds or Geoclassifieds. These are significantly cheaper than most of the bids. In your bid, please explain why you think your solution is better than a turnkey solution. Thank you.
