I am interested in having a Newsletter platform developed.
Something similar to? MailChimp or NewZapp.
While not a list of every feature the system will require, the system should:
1) Allow users to create HTML based emails from a range of templates, and design their own templates (WYSIWYG)
2) include a set of sample photos / graphics for users to use (demo graphics are fine - I will replace these later)
3) Have full email tracking capabilities (emails sent, how many bounced, emails read, user agent data that fetched the images, computer type (from user agent), etc, etc)
4) Have data represented visually whenever possible (graphs are much easier to read).
5) All for mailing lists to be imported and email addresses verified without sending emails (regexp for format check, then disconnect prior to DATA in SMTP conversation)
6) Allow the user to create groups of templates
7) Allow the user to create campaigns
8) Produce individual mailout and campaign reports in HTML and PDF formats
9) Support multiple users with maximum mailout options definable by an administrator.
10) Support throttling (max outgoing messages per minute)
The system will be easy to use for a novice but still allow for a professional result.
## Deliverables
The system needs to be easy to use, provide WYSIWYG newsletter development, and come with a number (15+) good quality templates.
Please discuss any areas of this project that you are unsure of before you bid..
I will assume you are going to deliver a result to the same standard and including all the major features on MailChimp if you don't discuss this prior to bidding..
