Auctioncast.com ‘White Label’ Site Proposal Prepared by Brian Hanson (HansonXyz LLC) for Landproz on 5/27/2025 HansonXyz will produce for Landproz a new WordPress site which features similar functionality to landproz.com, but with new branding, new content, and an implementation of the ACE Auctioncast experience currently used on Landproz.com. The auction experience will be functionally the same, only with different colors, and different branding. Features to be Added / Project Deliverables There will be a global login at the top of the Auctioncast website which lets the user of the website login as either a registrant or an ACE backend user. From the end user’s perspective, these accounts will start to seem unified, as if they only have one account, their ‘Auctioncast’ account. ACE users who are not Auctioncast staff will get a new customer portal upon logging in. In this customer portal, there will be: The customer’s logo A list of auctions which the user is assigned to as an ‘Auction Manager’ The user can click on an auction to see the auction’s details, including: Description Items Images Registrants on the auction w/ contact details Current bidding status (or who won each auction) Basic Analytics Chat messages from registrants A link to the ‘public’ display for an auction A link to the ‘auctioneer’ display for an auction Note: All of these screens will be read-only. The Auctioncast staff will handle entering in all auction details. The bidding status screens will be similar to the read-only clerk interface, allowing only for interaction to chat messages The users will be able to add registrants to their auctions, and send messages to registrants, in much the same way auction managers are able to right now in the current ACE system For each new auction entered by a landproz clerk, an interactive onboarding checklist feature will be added and visible on the client portal, with details of what is requested of the client for each auction to be finalized later. Some of these details may be – Location, deeded acres, images, description, sales te0rms, etc. Forms will be added to accept each piece of provided information, and the clerk will be able to review these submissions and either approve or provide feedback, which will also generate email notifications to the client appropriate for this feature. The user will be able to upload documents in the customer portal for the Auctioncast staff to use, using a drag and drop interface to upload files to their file manager. The Auctioncast staff will create ‘requests for documents’ which will show up on the dashboard as an item which can be clicked on, and then users will be able to upload documents and add comments to the request section. All other ACE functionality and non customer data will be hidden. As part of this project, the following ACE features will also be implemented: Chat conversations by read-only users will not affect a chat’s ‘viewed’ status. Chat conversations will show who ‘read’ a conversation in the clerk UI. Chat conversations will show when someone is ‘typing’. Multi tenant support (multiple B2B customer support) will be added to ACE, and Landproz will become a tenant. Auctions will be able to be performed on either the Auctioncast website or the Landproz website. The new Auctioncast website will have a page specifically for partners, to show the partners logo, contact information, and upcoming and past auctions. This partner page will be accessible by subdomain (for example, https://iowalandbroker.auctioncast.com/ . The Auctioncast Wordpress plugin will be improved to make it able to work simultaneously on landproz.com and auctioncast.com. ACE backend will be improved to have better mobile device compatibility. Updated permissions scheme pending the discussion of what those permissions entail with Dayna The incomplete development tasks assigned in Trello in May 2025 related to the white label website features will be completed, including: Header bar sign in Countdown clock ‘My Auctions’ Timeline for Completion and Budget: This project is estimated to take 60 development hours to complete, and is sold at a discounted rate of $175 per hour, for a total fixed bid cost of $10,500 for the entire project. This will include: Frontend Development – theming cloned Auctioncast site Backend Development – ACE login / client administration panel features Testing & client feedback Deployment Final testing and delivery The timeline for this project will be aggressive. Development will take place over 3 weeks, starting on May 28th and concluding on June 18th. Major milestones include: Thursday June 5th – progress demonstration and client feedback meeting Thursday June 12th – progress demonstration and client feedback meeting Thursday June 19th – final demonstration of features of software Friday June 20th – meeting on testing plan Week of June 23rd – June 27th – testing, bugfixes, and final product approval July 1st – Deployment to live Auctioncast.com website. The project will be invoiced at this time. July 1st – 15th – no activity, this is reserved for team training, and additional last minute change requests. Fixes to features promised as part of delivery will be in scope, other feature requests will be billed as additional work at the developer’s normal hourly rate of $250 per hour. Change Requests Due to the tight timeline and budget of this project, additional out of scope features outside of the scope defined in this document will be discouraged. Changes to scope will require discussion, a quote, and approval by both the client and developer in writing to proceed. HansonXyz will recommend the client wait until after delivery of the final product on July 1st to add additional features. Considerations The new Auctioncast website will have little to no change in site content from the source Landproz website outside of changes in font, colors, and brand name. In particular, the front page of the site will need to be redesigned. It will be the responsibility of the client to provide: Updated color scheme preferences Content for each page of the site they wish to display Any imagery or other marketing material they wish to show on the site. Pages that are not relevant on Auctioncast.com, such as the ‘meet the team’ page, will be removed. Additional content and feature changes to the Auctioncast site will be quoted and billed separately, either as a separate project, or future ongoing maintenance.
