I am looking for a pretty straightforward webbased mySQLphp application that will help me organize groups of people who have weekly meetings in homes around our city in the USA. Among other things, the application will help the administrator assign prospects who are interested in joining a group. I will want the application to suggest groups to assign the prospect to based on zip code data, i.e. the application will be able to look up which groups are closest to the the prospect based on the prospects US zip code. (I am no expert but I understand that a zip code database can be crossreferenced with distance radius to provide information as to which zip codes are closest to the zip code entered). If you can provide a good zip code database free of charge, that will certainly help your chances in winning the bid. The administrator will then be able to choose which group to assign the prospect to, and the app will the allow the administrator to add them to that group as an quotassigned prospectquot ... Group members will have different designations such as quotleaderquot, quotapprenticequot or quotassigned prospectquot etc. The app will give the administrator the ability to maintain profiles for each group member, and details about each group such as where the group meets, etc. The app needs to be integrated with mapquest or yahoo maps, whichever you have more experience with. Administrator will have ability to click on a quotmapquot link which will pull open a mapquest or yahoo map of the group members address location, or the group meeting place location. The app will also allow me to move a member of one group to another group, and to create new groups from existing groups that have grown too large. Groups themselves will be assigned to larger groups (maybe well call them quotsupergroupsquot) in batches of three, based on location, i.e. three groups meeting within the same zip code will have monthly gatherings, so we need to see that information on the summary page. The app will give summarizing information about all of the groups on an overview page helping the administrator get a quick overview of all of the groups, such as which quotsupergroupquot the group is assigned to, leader name, current meeting location, number of group members, number of assigned prospects for that group, weekly time of meeting, etc. On the user side, group leaders will have login ability to update their own profiles, meeting locations, meeting times, and also to update or edit group members profiles who are attending their meetings. The group leaders will also be able to check off which of the group members or assigned prospects actually attending the meetings. This user login will basically be a homepage for the group leader to get an editable overview of their groups vital stats, i.e. member roster, meeting location, assigned prospects, etc.The system should include a function which presents a summary page of any user edits that have been posted to the system since the administrator last logged in, thus allowing the administrator to be aware of group meeting location changes, profile edits, etc. which the administrator would not otherwise be aware of. The application will have the ability to integrate with a phase 2 project which will transform the data into a visual interface with quothomequot symbols representing meeting locations appearing in the appropriate space on the interactive map graphic. If you can provide this Phase 2 solution in this Phase 1 project as a bonus, that will obviously add to your chances of winning this bid. The application should function flawlessly on all brands of modern browsers.Thanks for your interest in this project.

Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
