$100 Fixed Budget: AI Studio Prototype Development & Firebase/Email Integration Project Goal I need an experienced and resourceful developer to transform my existing website prototype, created using Google AI Studio, into a fully functional, live, and interactive platform. The work involves database setup, user authentication, and email integration — all within a fixed $100 budget. IMPORTANT: The total budget for all development, integration, and optimization work is strictly limited to $100 USD (Fixed Price). ⸻ Platform Overview Project Title: “Bar Exam Simulation” This website provides a professional bar examination simulation service for lawyer trainees based on the local legal system. The site will operate on a monthly subscription model (payment setup is not part of this scope, but the user system is). ⸻ Scope of Work To meet the strict $100 budget, the developer MUST leverage free or low-cost tier services. 1. Database Integration (Users & Content) • User Management: Implement a registration, secure login, and user profile system for trainees. • Question Bank: Set up a structured database to store and manage exam simulation questions. • Cost-Effective Stack: Mandatory use of Firebase (Free Spark Plan) or a free MySQL database provided by my hosting package. 2. Email Service Implementation • Integrate a reliable transactional email service for registration confirmation, password reset, and essential notifications. • Cost-Effective Stack: Use the Free Tier of SendGrid or Mailgun. 3. Performance and Design Refinements • Optimize the existing AI Studio codebase for performance, responsiveness, and speed. • Make light UI/UX adjustments for a clean, professional look. 4. Domain & Hosting Activation • Assist in connecting and activating the site on my SoStech (Somali) domain and hosting account. • Ensure that the site is fully functional under the live domain. ⸻ Required Deliverables • A 100% functional live site hosted on my domain with all integrations completed. • Delivery of all source files, admin credentials (site, database, and email service). • Simple written instructions for basic self-edits and content updates. • A 5-day post-delivery support period for fixing any bugs or technical issues. ⸻ Hosting Details The hosting environment supports PHP/MySQL and allows custom HTML/CSS/JS uploads. (Currently linked to the SoStech domain — setup assistance required.) ⸻ Alternative Stack Options (Optional) Developers may suggest alternative free-tier technologies only if they fully meet the project’s requirements and do not exceed the $0 cost limit for hosting, database, or email services. Any proposed alternative must be clearly justified and approved before implementation. ⸻ Timeline & Delivery The project must be fully completed within 7 days of acceptance. Partial deliveries are encouraged for review and feedback during development. ⸻ Ownership & Rights All source code, integrations, and related materials will remain the client’s exclusive property upon project completion and final payment. ⸻ Your Proposal Must Include To be considered, please include the following: 1. Confirmation that you accept the $100 Fixed Budget. 2. Proposed Stack: Confirm usage of Firebase and SendGrid/Mailgun free tiers. 3. Timeline: Your estimated time to complete the project. 4. Portfolio: 1–2 examples of similar database/user integration work completed for $100 or less. ⸻ I’m looking for developers who deliver maximum value on a tight budget while maintaining professionalism and technical precision.
