Looking to put together a site where users can come and chat live with experts... Take a look at [login to view URL] before bidding. Will need this done in ASP.NET (VB.NET) and SQL Server. We need this to be scalable as we will be adding onto this later in time. We are looking for the base project to get this jump started. The live Chat will indicate whether an expert is online or not, from there a registered website user can select to chat with them and be charged whatever the Expert's rate is per minute. The clock will start ticking as soon as the chat window is opened. We will need some sort of category management that is database driven -> Category -> Sub Category, etc, etc... If you have any questions please ask before bidding. Thank you.
