I already have a functional but very plain auction website online and I’m ready to take it to the next level. The goal is a complete visual overhaul into a modern, sleek interface that feels quick, clean and intuitive on both desktop and mobile. Alongside the new look, I need two critical pieces of functionality integrated seamlessly: • Live bidding that updates in real-time, so users see the latest offers without refreshing the page. • A robust user rating and review system that lets buyers and sellers build trust through feedback after each transaction. The existing codebase is stable, so you can either refine what’s there or rebuild from scratch—whichever path gets us to a pixel-perfect finish faster. I’ll provide full access to the current site, brand colors, and any server credentials you need. For me, “done” means: • Every page follows the new design language consistently. • Live bids appear instantly across all active sessions. • Ratings flow automatically to user profiles once a sale closes. • No critical usability bugs on the latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, plus responsive behavior on common mobile breakpoints. If you’ve built real-time apps before (WebSockets, Pusher, or similar) and have an eye for polished UI, let’s talk timing and milestones so we can launch this upgrade smoothly.
