Introduction:

The EScort app is a mobile application that connects individuals for casual meetups and hangouts. The app allows users to browse profiles, message each other, and schedule rendezvous at a specific location and time.. The app will have features such as profile creation, messaging, search filters, live streaming, virtual gifts. The goal of the app is to provide a fun and engaging platform for users to meet new people and potentially find hookup partners.

Scope:

The scope of the project includes the development of both the front-end and back-end of the mobile application. The front-end will be developed for both iOS and Android platforms, and the back-end will be built using serverless architecture and MYSQL database. The following features will be included in the app:

• Profile creation: Users will be able to create a profile by uploading a profile picture and providing basic information about themselves, such as their name, age, and location.
• Search filters: Users will be able to search for other users based on various criteria, such as age, location, and interests.
• Messaging: Users will be able to send and receive messages with each other in real-time.
• Virtual gifts: Users will be able to send virtual gifts to each other as a way of showing interest or appreciation.
• Users will be able to host live stream and get paid by attendees or host a private session and withdraw their earnings.
• For monetization, the app will generate income through “Rise Up” and “Spotlight” features, a Super Powers premium package, along with advertising for products and brands.

Technical Requirements:

• Front-end: The front-end of the app will be built using react native, allowing it to be deployed on both iOS and Android platforms.
• Back-end: The back-end of the app will be built using a serverless architecture, with functions triggered by events such as user actions or messages. The back-end will use a SQL database (such as MYSQLi) to store user data and a messaging service (such as PubNub) for real-time messaging.
• Infrastructure: The app will be deployed on a cloud platform, such as AWS or GCP, and will use their respective authentication and authorization services.

Timeline:

The development of the hookup mobile application will take approximately 3-4 months, with the following milestones:

• Month 1: Front-end development for iOS
• Month 2: Front-end development for Android
• Month 3: Back-end development and integration
• Month 4: Testing and bug fixing

Cost:

The total cost of the project will be NGN1,250,000 including all development, testing, and deployment costs. This cost does not include ongoing maintenance or additional feature development beyond the scope of the initial project. A UI/UX design and prototype will be provided with full features for your input and approval before development starts.

Milestone: 

Payment shall be in three milstones; 

30% to produce UI/UX design, 50% before project starts for front-end Android and IOS development. 20% on delivery of back-end development and integration.

Thank you for considering our proposal for the development of the hookup mobile application. We look forward to the opportunity to bring this project to life and help users connect with each other in a fun and engaging way.
