Dear Julia,
Thank you for sharing your plans for Highland Heart Dating. It has been a genuine pleasure to read through them. A dating platform built around real events, where people come to enjoy an activity first and meet someone second, is a refreshing alternative to endless swiping, and your ideas translate beautifully into an app and website.
I have to say it: I love the "Recipes for Romance" concept. From kitchen to connection, it makes the platform truly unique and gives it that little something extra that no other dating site offers. It will be a joy to build.
Below you'll find everything included in this quotation: the member iPhone & Android app and website, a custom coded administration panel giving you complete control of the platform, the design approach, timeline, payment terms and the year of aftercare that follows launch.
Warm regards,
Sami
Web Spinner UK

Custom coded control centre LARAVEL 13+
A bespoke, secure administration panel, built from scratch rather than from off the shelf templates, giving you full control of the platform:
- Site text & content management, so you can edit pages, slogans and recipes yourself
- Member profiles & account statuses: approve, verify, suspend or ban

- Moderation tools to review reports, flagged content and photos from one queue
- Events & bookings: create events, manage attendees and check members in

- Event loyalty discounts: mark attendance and the member automatically receives 10% off their next subscription
- Dashboard with member, revenue and event statistics
Event loyalty that rewards showing up
Members who turn up to an event receive 10% off their next subscription, automatically. It rewards exactly the behaviour that makes Highland Heart Dating special, showing up in person, and gives members a reason to keep coming back to both the events and the platform.
Maps that guide members right to the door
Every event page includes an interactive map with a pin on the venue. When a member allows location access, the site shows how far away the event is and the best route to take, powered by Google Maps. I'll set up the whole Google Maps side for you as part of the build.
Getting you found on Google
One note: appearing on the first page of Google can take months with a new build (it's controlled by Google, not us). But we can get you there right away with a Google Ads campaign (pay per click), sitting at the top of the results from day one and targeted to your area. If that's something that interests you, we should look at setting it up just after launch. And the site launches with strong SEO built in, so your organic presence grows steadily in the background too.

The running of it, all handled for you
A few services run alongside the build. I'll set every one of them up and manage them with you, so you never have to touch the technical side:
- Hosting & domain name, provided by Web Spinner UK free for your first year, then £250 per year. This includes your own business email addresses at your domain, like julia@highlandheartdating.com
- Google Maps, set up for you as part of the build, running pay as you go on your own Google account
- Stripe for card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, set up on your own account so member payments go straight to you (standard card fees apply)
- Google Ads, managed with you if you choose to run a campaign, with a budget you control and can change at any time
- Apple App Store developer account (£79 per year) and Google Play Store account (£20, one off) for publishing the app. These are paid by you directly to Apple and Google, not billed by us
And this is just the start. Once Highland Heart Dating is up and running we can add a live group chat lounge and pay per view cooking classes, giving your members even more reasons to log in every day and opening up new income for you. Just say the word whenever you're ready.

To go ahead, just let me know your thoughts at sam@webspinneruk.com. If you're happy, I'll swing over the invoice for the first half along with a simple contract covering everything above, so you get exactly what you've asked for and you're fully protected.
