Project Title:
Development of Telugu Daily e-Paper Web Portal with Multi-Page PDF Upload & Interactive Reader (Reference: epaper.netitharam.com)

Project Description:
We are looking for an experienced Web Developer / Full-Stack Engineer to develop a responsive, high-performance Telugu Regional e-Paper Web Portal inspired by epaper.netitharam.com.

The platform is meant for publishing our daily print newspaper edition digitally. The admin should be able to upload a daily multi-page PDF (or page-wise high-resolution images), and readers should be able to navigate, zoom, crop/clip, and share individual news items seamlessly on mobile and desktop devices.

Key Modules & Requirements:
1. Benchmark & UI/UX Layout (Reference: epaper.netitharam.com):

Clean top navigation bar featuring the newspaper logo, Telugu publication date, edition selector (e.g., Main Edition, District Editions), and page number switcher.

Responsive desktop & mobile-first layout with smooth touch gestures (swipe between pages, pinch-to-zoom).

Thumbnail sidebar or bottom tray showing small previews of all pages in that day’s edition.

2. e-Paper Viewer & Reader Engine:

High-resolution rendering without text blur when users zoom in to read small print columns.

Fast page loading using modern web libraries (e.g., PDF.js, Real3D FlipBook, or Canvas-based image slicing).

Options for users to:

Zoom In / Zoom Out / Reset View.

Download full edition PDF or individual page PDF/Image.

Switch easily between Page 1, 2, 3, etc.

3. Interactive News Clipping / Cropping Tool (Mandatory):

Similar to regional Telugu e-papers, readers must have a "Crop / Cut" tool.

A selectable rectangular crop frame to highlight a specific article or advertisement on the page.

1-Click options on the cropped area:

Download Clip as JPG/PNG with our newspaper masthead/watermark attached.

Share to WhatsApp directly with a custom message and portal link.

4. Admin Dashboard & Publishing Workflow:

Simple, secure admin panel to manage daily editions:

Select Date and Edition/District.

Upload single multi-page PDF or bulk upload page images (JPG/PNG).

Auto-generation of page thumbnails and archive links.

Edition management: Ability to edit, delete, or replace pages of an already published date.

5. Archive & Calendar System:

Interactive calendar/date picker allowing readers to browse past editions by selecting any previous date and year.

Search/filter past editions by edition name or date range.

6. Monetization & Ad Placements:

Pre-configured, high-CTR display ad spaces:

Top header banner ad.

Sidebar ads and inter-page banner slots (Google AdSense and local business sponsor banners).

7. Performance, Hosting & SEO:

Lightweight, optimized architecture compatible with standard cPanel / VPS hosting (PHP/MySQL or WordPress).

Clean Open Graph (OG) meta tags so that when an e-paper link or clip is shared on WhatsApp/Facebook, the newspaper logo and date appear clearly in the preview.

Deliverables Expected:
Complete, live deployment of the e-paper portal on our cPanel/server with SSL configured.

Fully functional e-paper reader with deep zoom and clipping tool.

Easy-to-use Admin panel for daily PDF/image uploads and archive management.

15–30 days of post-launch bug fixing and support.

How to Apply:
Share links to e-paper websites or PDF-reader platforms you have previously built.

Mention your proposed technology stack (WordPress plugin, custom PHP/MySQL, or Node.js/PDF.js).

State your fixed price quote (INR) and realistic delivery timeline (in days).
