I’m starting this project from a blank slate and need a partner who can take it all the way to production. The product is a social networking site, and the first release must excel at one core interaction: rich user profiles and the ability for members to connect with one another. Everything you build should make that experience feel fast, intuitive, and secure. We’ll kick off with a short discovery phase to clarify user journeys, draft the information architecture, and lock down the MVP feature set. From there, you’ll own UI/UX design, frontend and backend implementation, secure authentication, database architecture, an admin panel, automated testing, deployment, and developer-friendly documentation. I’m open on the tech stack—React + Node/Express, Next.js, or a Python framework such as Django are all fine—as long as the final system is easy to maintain, scales horizontally, and meets modern security standards. Acceptance criteria • Pages and API responses load in under two seconds on a 3G connection • Authentication follows OWASP best practices and supports future SSO providers • Admin panel can manage users, connection requests, and site-wide metrics • Automated test suite (unit, integration, end-to-end) maintains ≥90 % coverage with a CI pipeline that blocks failing builds • Production deployment uses repeatable infrastructure scripts (Docker, Terraform, or similar) and is documented clearly for handover At hand-off I expect the complete, commented source code, an up-to-date README, API documentation, database schema diagrams, and a one-click (or single command) deployment process. Ongoing collaboration for future iterations—feature additions, integrations, and performance tuning—is highly likely if this launch goes well. If you have shipped high-traffic social platforms before, I’d love to see them in your proposal.
