[Custom Script] Quote Needed

[kivanoconnor]

Im looking to create a site similar to www.deviantart.com where users can upload their own artwork, literiture and maybe even music.
Well the site design can be found at www.artistic-curve.com/site

The script will need to include the following features:
-Upload (art, literiture, music, downloads)
-Comment on uploaded work
-User galleries
-Favourite system
-Thumbnails
-Catagories
-Blog for each user (like da journal)
-Shoutbox
-Search
-Shop
-Subscriptions
-chat

I will probably have more features to add. The script will also need to be integrated with the site and Vbulletin forums so when a user registers at the site he registers at the forum. I also need their stats (favourites, blog, comments, gallery) to show up in their profile

Im looking to see how much this would cost and how long it would take to complete

That would be $xxx-$x,xxx easily.
I'm not sure about the timeframe, as it depends on the coder.

If anyone says they will do it for under $200-$300, don't hire them.

agreed though I could imagine something like 300 for myself. Too bad I hate work or I'd have done it for you, I think $300 is a nice amount to earn on the net, from my own home. Way better than working in a butchery or something :P

agreed. That'd take quite a bit of time.

Actually, if you're using vBulletin it wouldn't be that hard, you can run quite a sophisticated site off of vBulletin, I have a site running off SMF and it is quite simple. However, I have no experience with vB, I would think it would be quite simple.

 

[Dan]

How can you say its easy if you have no experience with it?

Which one of your sites is nearly as complicated as the one he wants?

 

[Kadenz]

Hey, relax, i'm stating my opinion.

 

[Noobie]

if you're looking for all custom scripts is easily x,xxx

My suggestion would be to find a proven open source project that handles most of the functionality and then modify/customize for your needs. No reason re-inventing the wheel.

well the timeframe is entirely up to the coder, as to the price...well I PERSONALLY would do it for around $600+ ... but thats just my price. Again it depends on the coder

Also i couldnt agree more with Dan, dont hire someone who will do it for cheap and promised you soemthing in under a week (well unless they have alot of sleepless nights)...

But also keep in mind DeviantART has full time programmers and well thats basiclly thier career

I'd say low x,xxx for a project of this size. Its hard to say a timeframe but if a coder worked on it at regular intervals it could be finished in < 3 months.

yep :D

but also most of eBay was coded over the labour day weekend :hehe:

I'd do it for $500 - $2000. The better and experienced the programmer is, the more expensive.
