We're building an online search engine and marketplace for two types of freelancer workers = service sellers (WORKER 1 & WORKER 2) as well as two types of clients = service buyers (CLIENT 1 & CLIENT 2). The service helps them to find each other fast and easy and work together. You can think of it as an [login to view URL] or [login to view URL], but focused on the needs of another industry.
Our focus will be on design. We will handle the identity as well as UX/UI design. We're looking for Ruby on Rails developers to handle back-end & front-end development, search functionalities and payments systems.
At this point, we're looking to build a minimum viable product (MVP) on a shoestring budget. In the MVP, we need the basic functionalities listed below to be fully working for all user types.
IMPORTANT 1: To test our work relationship we’re going to create MILESTONE 1 first as a test; we need you to be able to host this. Should we go forward, we will transfer MILESTONE 1 under our own hosting and continue with you with other milestones.

Dear sir, I read your project details, and review it, I am ready to start your project immediately, it take more then 3 months time frame. I can developed it from scratch using PHP instead of Ruby and Rail, because I can change any functions, may not possible in Ruby and Rail, so think this point please. If you want other open source CMS, I can do it on Drupal and Joomla too, if you interested please drop some lines, best regards, zakir375
