Website Live & Group Chat Integration

Job ID: 40328496

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I need a real-time chat feature added to my website that lets visitors start a one-on-one live conversation with our team and also gives logged-in users the option to join topic-based group chats.
Key points:
• Platform: website only—everything must run smoothly on desktop and mobile browsers.
• Chat modes: live chat for direct support plus separate rooms for group discussion.
• Message format: text messages only; no images, audio, or video.

I’m happy to work with whatever stack you prefer—WebSocket, Node.js, Laravel Echo, Firebase, or another solid solution—as long as the final result:
1. Delivers instant message delivery and typing indicators.
2. Provides a simple, clean UI I can style to match my site.
3. Includes basic moderation tools (mute, kick, delete message) for group rooms.
4. Is secure, with user authentication tied to my existing login system.

Please outline your approach, estimated timeline, and any similar projects you’ve completed.
