322562 Calendar Reservation System

Calendar Reservation System for Website. This is a project for a standalone appointment booking system. The purpose of this system is to allow clients to visit website, view appointment availability via calendar and make a real time booking. The users will be able to select a specific time based on availability and reserve the time required. Users can book online - or can have an administrator reserve a booking slot via the website. This system can be built from scratch, or you can use open source software - but no software that requires an annual license/support fee or that has encoded code. You will not create the whole website, just a PHP standalone system ready for integration. So PLEASE do not give us a generic sales pitch and samples of irrelevant e-commerce websites because we won't look at them. You must be expert in PHP/MySQL and Ajax. *** IMPORTANT *** To increase your chances of winning this project please write a short, relevant proposal and provide us with samples of your work and experience to assist us with our selection.
