This kind of "specification" means 2 things:<br />
<br />
1. bidder as an amateur AND/OR<br />
2. thinks you're even more naive than him to be impressed with these words. <br />
<br />
While some of the above info is relevant, this is by no means specification, it's a joke<br />
so you can freely scratch this one from the list.<br />

Btw. as someone suggested, test before you invest. As fabulous as your idea may seem to you,<br />
and I believe it is, why not test the market first with something much smaller, cheaper, simpler.<br />
<br />
Like making your original app but with minimum of required functionality, for start. Just so you can<br />
see where it goes, and add features as market dictates - better than to invest in guessing.<br />
<br />
This way you'll also test developers, and get better at outsourcing game. And they'll be more on their toes.<br />
<br />
Sometimes here discussions start how to get investors for a project, and conclusion is always - prove them<br />
your idea works - do it on a smaller scale and then ask for funding.<br />
<br />
Now, as you're a startup, you're probably less rich than millionaire investors, and if they are so cautious with their<br />
money, why wouldn't you be too? There always is an option that site will be an epic fail, so why spending more than<br />
necessary? <br />
<br />
I say this in good faith and with best wishes to your startup. Many successful web stories started on a shoestring budget.<br />
The goal of the game is to have $10k come to you every month, not throwing $10k before you even got into game.<br />

Few more tips:<br />
<br />
- Also include in your plan expenses of running a website. Having it created is just step one. Sort of like buying a car. Once you have it, you then need gas money, registration money, parking place, insurance...<br />
<br />
- Have someone audit the code periodically, as the mere fact that the site works is not guarantee it's written in a good and sustainable manner, that it's secure and capable of handling big traffic etc.</div>
