Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Project Description

We are seeking an experienced full-stack developer or small development team to complete a rapid development project within approximately 48 hours.

The project involves building two connected websites that power a sweepstakes platform.

The design will be simple, clean, and functional, prioritizing speed of development and stability over heavy custom design. The developer must be comfortable working quickly and efficiently.

This project is time-sensitive and must begin immediately.

Project Overview

The platform consists of two websites that communicate with the same database.

Vendor Membership Portal

Customer Sweepstakes Platform

Businesses (vendors) will subscribe to list sweepstakes.
Consumers will browse those sweepstakes and submit entries.

The system will automatically record entries and allow random winner selection.
