Design expectations:
I expect the design to be creative, simple, interactive and modern. I have a concept but I expect the developer to find solution to my ideas. I expect the site to incorporate the functionality and footer style of groupon.com.
Key features:
* select location
* daily or weekly deals sent via email
* the GrabIt feature will replace the buy now button for selected items.
* It will allow users to follow the regular process of the daily deal system and receive their deal via email or download.
* the site should work via mobile / tablets, as well
* see more features below
Additional requirements:
- full social-network integration
- CM back panel management with various levels of authority
- Ability for partners to create their own deals to submit for approval
- cloud-hosting
- development of the grab-it feature to ensure that it cannot be falsely utilized
Additional requirements for freelancers:
- knowledge of how the above mentioned examples work.
- weekly contact / update via skype ( mandatory within the contract )
