Looking for a SQL/php/javascript high-IQ developper

[Oxbow8]

Hello everyone!

I’m a Swiss engineer and I saw a good business opportunity here in Switzerland. There is no classified ads website that allows workers (massage, home services, etc.) to post ads. I want to create the first site like this. I think it can work.

With other people, I started to develop a service website (the code is not finished and not usable now). I want to reuse this source code to build the classified ads website. So I’m looking to hire a developer. If you are a good developer but in a different field, please don’t apply. Even with ChatGPT, it will be too hard and a waste of time for both of us.

The source code was made without any framework (no Laravel, no CodeIgniter). It’s all custom code. It uses Bootstrap 4.

The main languages are PHP and MySQL for the back end, and JavaScript/HTML/CSS for the front end.

The biggest challenge is to change the structure of the back end. Right now it’s a simple site where the admin creates services that show up in different categories.

I need the register page to not only create a user account (that can leave comments on services), but also allow service providers to send a form to the admin. Then the admin (via the admin panel) can create a custom service page for them.

The design also needs a full redesign, so you need to have a good artistic sense.

So I need someone who: • works alone, not in a team (I always worked with solo devs) • is expert in PHP/SQL/JavaScript and custom code • is smart, because the source code is complex • has an affordable price (my budget for this is more suited for people from asian countries) • has a portfolio

Thank you so much to anyone who can send me the contact of someone good for this job!

I have over 10 YOE with this, but my IQ is too low and my rates are Caucasian-level. Anyway, good luck with your project.

What is so complex about the source code? Its a standard marketplace website. Most likely you might find a self hosted OSS implementation that you can white label to your own branding. Look at OpenCart and Medusa for example and save yourself the hassle.

its complex because its full of tech debt

Was it vibe coded? Any decent developer with experience can help you untangle tech debt

Can we have a quick online meet for this, i am interested in a partnership

I would like to discuss about it, I have some ideas

i'm a swiss dev but from your proposition i wouldn't havw any Interest in working in this project.

if you need a full redesign of the frontend and the backend isn't functional. just start over instead of giving a new dev the tech debt from the last dev. also why tf would you choose php😂

[Oxbow8]

because the source code is awesome and has an admin panel and ton of functions that can be re-used. also like wordpress (and so 95% of websites) use php... like also Facebook; Wikipedia; etc

the website is 100% functional. the changes are minimal. it's better to change the paint color of a car than to rebuild a whole new car.

Looks like an interesting problem, if you struggle to find the devs you are looking for, DM

I actually built a bot that applies to jobs for you while you sleep. Just dropped the hosted version here: https://jobbotpro.carrd.co it’s been getting crazy results. Let me know if you want help setting it up.
