This is not easy to explain in a short block of text. If the right person finds the following suitable, I have attached a number of attachments for much better description of the project. I’m looking for someone to do a tricky bit of database work for a website (that doesn’t exist!). What I’m talking about is a method by which Australian birdwatchers can enter their ‘life list’ statistics (i.e. each of the species they’ve seen in their lifetime), along with the location and date of their sighting) on an Excel template with the list of 900+ species that occur in Australia. Once the birder sends his completed form to me, I upload it to a website where they can expect to then see their list on a central webpage that will comprise of the list of guys participating, in chronological order of their rankings (manually positioned on the site by me is no problem) with a hotlink next to their names that take the enquirer to that person’s life list, which will look very much like my 2014 year-list, which you can see here: [login to view URL] . Note the reverse chronology of their sightings. Also that the page allows view of the list in the context of the current IOC (International Ornithological Committee) taxonomy. The template that I’d envision giving the guys is on Excel, so I need to email this, plus additional materials for clarity. I haven't used this service before, but believe there must be someone 'out there' who could do this work in an affordable manner. My quotes in Australia were too high to accept.

Dear Sir/Madam, we are a team of highly efficient, very experienced web developers with solid PHP background. We very well know MVC frameworks and are fluent in SQL. We would love to build this project for you. I have visited your website that I could see a list of observations on. From my point of view what you are seeking is a visual tool (importer) that allows your members to upload a CSV (Excel) file with their observations and then map their columns to an arbitrary column scheme. Additionally, they would be able to modify/review those imported items before they are accepted and send to your database. We have already built a very similar tool for a Tennis Community. If you wish, I am happy to send you our portfolio/proposal PDF and discuss the project in details. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you! Please check our rates on Freelancer.com - we have a great reputation that certifies the quality we offer! Best regards, Jacek Francuz

Hey, I know it can be quite difficult explaining a big job in a short block of text but you did fairly well as I've understood the job quite well. I have a suggestion, you need to make the excel file, email it to birder and then upload it. I have a better solution. I'll make an online database and an online form for your birders. They can choose the birds which they have seen from the 900+ birds(a list which you'll give me) , enter the location and date of their sighting. I'll even code a functionality where you can simply enter the list of emails and the website will automatically send the link to those people asking them to fill the page. After they fill the page, I'll make a page where you can approve their submissions and they will be added to your central webpage. We can display this listing with different sorting also, as by bird, by location, by person, rankings etc. How does this sound? But yes, if you really want to stick with the old school excel database then I'd understand that and I can make the database with that also. Let's talk? You can see my portfolio here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/nitishthelegend.html My 100% feedback score and trophies speak for themselves about my clients' satisfaction. Let's talk, Nitish.

Not sure, the users (or you as admin) can upload the birds/location file in CSV format( not XLS) so that data import is done programmatically. Also the bird names would be standard so that we can categorize while importing into database. (a)User registers in the portal, and uploads the CSV file, validations etc (or may be he send the file to you for upload as admin) (b)Birds name (in the CSV) should be predefined (e.g. so that we can classify as necessary and validate inputs) Ranking: may be we need some clarification, is it sorting by name or location ? Predefined birds name+image: may be they are going to be static (not admin definable) Appreciate if you can kindly respond to enable us further discussion on the requirements; Could you kindly send us the sample template, we can come up with more comments for discussion Please disregard my timeline for now, we can comeback with a proposal based on your response; Kindly visit our profile on Freelancer.com to know more about our past history. We look forward to your response. Best Regards manjunath

Hi. I have read the description and I come to know that you want to store this in a database. I will do this. I will save all these data in your database and make a system in which you can enter these type of data.

Hello, I can get this done for you. I've over 8 years experience in designing and developing websites using various technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Java, Swift, Node.js and server-side JavaScript, Python and Django, Elixir and Phoenix, PHP, HTML5, CSS3, etc. and have extensive experience building different types of websites including E-commerce, Corporate, Web Applications, Social, etc. From your post, what I understand is you need a website with an admin area where you can add bird watchers and upload their life list (which they will send you in a spreadsheet with specific format). Also, you want a public website connected to this database which will have multiple views (display formats) like global view (showing lists of all bird watchers based on their rankings) as well as a view to show the life list of an individual bird watcher. It will also have a display format based on IOC taxonomy. The admin area will allow you to manage these taxonomies as well as bird watcher rankings (apart from managing individual life lists of bird watchers). My bid is based on my understanding of the project. Please message me to discuss this in detail and let me know if I missed out something. I will be able to give a better quotation after the discussion. All my work comes with 100% satisfaction guarantee. Please check my profile for certifications and reviews from past employers. Regards, Arania

Dear Client, Thank you for posting this project. I am interested in working on this project but there are many questions that needs to be answered to understand the project in details. Tough I could understand the over all idea but still want to make it more clear so we are on the same page. Please allow me to discuss in details so that I can define the scope of the project and give you accurate timeframe. I have checked the description and also the file that you attached. We have a team inhouse who can design and develop the website as per the scope we finalize. Looking forward to speak with you. Thank you.

I have extensive experience building data feeds, consuming excel files into SQL databases etc. The subject matter is of interest to me too! Whilst I have had a Freelancer account since 2010 I have only just started using it to look for work, rather than to hire people.

Hi, I have a general idea of what you need done. Here's what I have in mind: - I can program a form on your website where birdwatchers would be able to enter their life list statistics, or if what you need is to email the excel file, what I will create is a form for you to send this email along with the excel file and any information you want to include - After they submit the form, you will receive an email of their submission so you can check - the site will also have a secured area, where you're the only one who have access, where you can add the life list submitted to you by birdwatchers. - a page will be created to display all the submitted life list, just like the page you attached, where clicking on a photo will get you the larger version of a photo Question: - how is the order determined in your mentioned rankings? I don't see any example of that in the website you provided. Upon knowing how the order is determined, I can code a page where the rankings are positioned automatically. I'm pretty sure you want more details regarding the site that you want to share. Looking forward to getting some feedback from you soon. darkwind

I have only completed one project on this site, so like you, I am new to this. I assure you that I have an extensive background working with various databases and web-applications; building them from the ground up. If it helps, you can also view my LinkedIn profile in order to see much more detail about my experience and high-level connections within the big data-analytics community. Just use your preferred search engine to look for Aaron Bossert. I believe that your project could be an interesting one to implement. I have used a web-front end framework that provides easy integration with Microsoft Excel for output using a simple download option. This might be ideal for your use-case. I have also done a great deal of work developing semantic ontologies to enrich data, which could also provide your users with a better experience.
