We are a UK based telecommunications company who is looking for an individual web developer / web designer. We have an existing service which is promoted and offered by way of an existing website (front end). The existing website is dialaradio.co.uk the site is approaching 4 years old. We have recently been redeveloping the backend system and introducing new and exciting features, which we would like to promote in the new website. The website requires a new look (logo & branding), feel, design, general refreshing and content update. There are to be no changes to the existing name (dialaradio). The content in general is to remain but will require general updating and refreshing.
The website provides information on how to access radio station live streams through your phone, by dialing a specific telephone number which then connects to a live stream of a particular station, without using any data plan usage and or special applications. The number to be dialed is a standard, non premium rate phone number, which forms part of any inclusive minutes calling package the user may have through their phone providers plan, thus making the service free to use for most users. The existing site is produced using Wordpress. We are open to changing / keeping this, this is where we will need expert and honest advice. The new site needs to be a secure website (https) using any of the various free services which are widely available. It also needs to be fully compatible and optimised for SEO compatability. It would also be good to have some minor integration with a backend system, such as a coloured icon which represents the current status of a particular stream (for example, showing it is live and currently streaming). We also need to show a date when the site was last updated, thus instilling the confidence the site is regularly updated because the site has not received any regular updates over the last 4 years. The site needs to be easily updatable without requiring the web developers constant intervention, for example the numbers page should be easily updatable by the website administrator, together with any other content. The site needs to be able to load a lot faster. The new site needs to also be responsive and be properly displayed across all device types, platforms and any web browsers. We are aware the existing website has a lot of errors within it these will also require addressing.
I only work with individual developers, so no companies or agencies to respond please, from past experience such dont work, hence why I only work with individual developers. I enjoy working with developers from around the world. You do need to have a good understanding of the English spoken and written language. You must be available to start on this project straight away. Please do not bid a low offer and then increase your offer as this just gets very annoying and frustrating. The person must be available to communicate with me 7 days a week primarily through a common messaging service. I am generally available 7 days a week from 06:00 to midnight and I aim to provide a reply within an hour to any messages.
For our and your protection any terms agreed and payment will only go through this site, so please no direct requests for work as these will be ignored and will be a waste of my and your time. I have been using various freelancer sites for the best part of 9 years, as such I am very experienced.
I will be instructing an individual to carry out the work within 24-48 from this post going live. I would welcome any advice on how to improve the site, further increase its popularity, etc. Finally it should be noted that whilst his post is for the dialaradio project, we are seeking to work with an individual long term as we have at least another six websites which require development. I will tell you at the outset that I am very fussy and demanding to work with and will not hesitate to let you know i / we are not happy.Thank you for showing an interest in this job, I look forward to working with you. I would like this task to be completed within 7 days.
