I need to have an online dating website built that resembles match.com, eharmony.com, or any of the other big websites. I need it to have 3 levels of membership. Since we are just starting out, the database doesnt need to be too large, maybe 1000 or so, and that should help with the cost. I would like it to have a blog service installed on it as well. It should be self running, I just approve profiles and photos. I also need it to be set up for newbies, because I want to use all the functions I pay for, but I am not very experienced. I would like it to also have a coupon feature. There are more details, but it seems to mirror the bigger sites, so you can check them out to see what you need to do. When responding, please include example websites andor any online demos so I can see what kind of work you do. Thanks to everyone that responds.

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.
