Website Development for OffGridBattles.com - Pre-Sign-Up and Crowdfunding Campaign

Project Description:

I am seeking a skilled and creative developer/team to build a website for OffGridBattles.com. This website will serve as a platform to showcase our unique treasure hunt experience, allowing users to pre-sign-up for future events and participate in a crowdfunding campaign to bring the project to life.

Website Requirements:

User Dashboard:

Player Profile Preview: Display an example of a player profile, showing what users can expect. Use a sample profile, such as "Von Aegir," who is at the highest level with all his gear.
Player Profile Creation: Inform users that the game profile creation will be available in the future, as game developers are working on a plan, timeline, and costs to reach this.
Leaderboard: Display top players and their achievements.
Secret Information Board: A section where event organizers can post updates, pictures, and videos about the first treasure hunt.
Upload Feature: Allow users to upload videos and pictures of themselves at certain checkpoints in the game.
Level System: Users can gain levels and rise in rank by completing tasks at each checkpoint, adding excitement and engagement.
Lucky Finds: Some players can be extra lucky along the route and find objects that will give them further advantages in their online gamer profile, such as weapons, armor, and other decorative objects for their NPC player to stand out.
Community Interaction: A forum or chat feature where users can interact with one another, discussing the game, sharing their wishes and hopes, and building a community.
Marketing and Promotion:

Additional Information:

Responsiveness: The website must be responsive and accessible across various devices and platforms.

Gamification elements such as badges, rewards, and levels to enhance user engagement.
Future capability for players to stream their hunts live in the real world, showcasing their progress to followers.
Budget and Development Phases:

Since I am not sure what and how much can be done within the budget, I would like to understand what can be achieved now and which elements will need to wait for additional funding. For example:

Player Profiles: Can we create player profiles within the current budget?
Traffic Handling: Can we handle the traffic of thousands of players?
Budget Expectations: What can I expect to get for the current budget, and what elements can we develop later when more funds are available?
Platform Considerations:

Since this initial webpage is primarily for show and visuals before the initial game is developed, I am open to recommendations on which platform to use. I need to understand if we can continue to develop on the same platform or if it will require something else in the future. Please provide your expertise on the best platform to start with and its scalability for future development.

Proposal Requirements:

Examples of similar projects you have worked on.
A detailed proposal outlining your approach to this project.
A comprehensive timeline and milestones.
Additional recommendations for an optimal user experience.
