I’m creating Assam Diaries—a vibrant, content-driven platform where locals and travellers alike can share photos, videos and longer articles in one place. I already have the brand direction (bright, welcoming, distinctly Assamese) and now need the full technical build. Core experience • Secure sign-up / login for contributors and viewers • A clean admin dashboard where I can curate, approve or remove uploads and push my own photo or video features • Front-end posting tools so registered users can add, edit and save their own photos, videos and articles • Cloud-hosted database to keep content fast and reliably available even during traffic spikes • Responsive layout that feels native on mobile; if you prefer a PWA or lightweight companion app, I’m open • Ad-based monetisation (Google AdSense or your recommended network) woven into the design without hurting UX • Modern optimisation basics—lazy loading for media, CDN integration, SSL, basic SEO tags—so pages load quickly and stay secure I lean toward a colourful, minimal-clutter interface: think bold accent colours, large imagery and intuitive navigation rather than corporate greys. Feel free to suggest React, Next.js, Laravel, Django, Firebase or whatever stack you’re comfortable with, as long as it lets me scale and manage content easily. Key deliverables • Live website deployed on my domain • Admin panel with role management • Source code with clear documentation and install guide • Brief hand-off session (video or written) showing how to add ads, moderate content and run basic maintenance Acceptance criteria 1. New user can register, confirm email and log in. 2. Logged-in user uploads a 20 MB video, a photo carousel and an article; all appear instantly in their profile. 3. Admin toggles an ad block on/off without code changes. 4. Site scores 90+ on Google Lighthouse mobile performance and passes SSL check. If you have a portfolio piece that mirrors this social-media-light flow, send me the link along with your proposed tech stack and timeline.
