Project Overview:
We are seeking a comprehensive WordPress-based platform designed to connect professionals with clients seeking specific services. The platform will facilitate efficient matching and transactions through a robust, user-friendly interface.

The website will feature dual functionality with distinct, user-friendly dashboards for both user groups, secured by robust login protocols. Clients will initiate the process by selecting a city and an area of expertise from predefined lists, then submit a detailed description of their service needs along with any pertinent documents. The platform will automatically notify 5-10 professionals who match the client’s specified city and expertise via email, in a robin round system. Professionals can then engage with the client through a private messaging system to ask additional questions and subsequently submit their proposals and quotations directly to the client. Once a proposal is received, clients have the option to accept and process payments through the platform, which retains a percentage of the transaction fee. Additionally, professionals are required to pay an annual subscription to participate in this marketplace. This setup ensures a streamlined, secure exchange that aligns with both parties’ needs and expectations.

Core Functionalities Required:
1. User Registration:
• Separate registration processes for clients and professionals, including profile management capabilities and Social Media log in.

2. Project Posting and Proposal Submission:
• Clients should be able to post projects easily from the homepage, and professionals should be able to submit tailored proposals. The system will notify and will have access only 5-10 expertise who match the criteria (city/area of expertise) in a robin round system, for equally distribution of the job.

3. Private Messaging System:
• A system for clients and professionals to communicate directly within the platform. This should include options for both instant messaging and email-like communications or videocall.

4. Payment Integration:
• The platform should handle transactions securely, processing payments through popular gateways like woocomerce.

5. Rating and Review System:
• Post-service completion, clients should be able to rate and review professionals.

Design and Technical Preferences:
1. UI/UX Design:
• The interface should be clean and modern, easy to navigate, and fully responsive across all devices.

2. Use of Ready-Made Plugins:
• We prefer the integration of existing WordPress plugins and third-party apps to expedite development and reduce costs. No custom coding should be required. Please recommend suitable options that align with our functional needs.

3. SEO and Performance Optimization:
• The site should be optimized for search engines and performance, including fast loading times and minimal downtime.

4. Scalability:
• The architecture should support scalability to accommodate growth in user numbers and functionalities.
Security Requirements:
• Robust security protocols are essential, particularly for data protection and transaction security. Please specify the measures you will implement to secure the platform.

Additional Services:
1. Maintenance and Support:
• Propose annual fees for maintenance and support.

2. Analytics Integration:
• Provide an estimated timeline for project completion.
• Include a detailed cost breakdown for all development, design, and additional services mentioned.
