Description
We are building a sleek, professional, and fun AI-driven travel planning web app. The platform helps users create and organize trips, get personalized recommendations, and collaborate easily. While certain business aspects are confidential, this is an AI-powered trip planning tool focused on discovery, coordination, and group collaboration.
Requirements:
We are looking for a developer with experience in:
Using GSAP for scroll animations and triggers
Integrating APIs (Google Places API, Mapbox API)
Collaborating with APIs for real-time data (e.g., hotels, activities via Viator)
Payment integrations (PayPal, Venmo, Stripe)
SEO optimization (on-page SEO best practices and site structure)
Designing a clean, modern, professional website with a fun personality
Integrating Google Analytics for user behavior tracking
Building a fully responsive, mobile-optimized experience
Fluency in English
Experience with AI-driven features or recommendation engines (this is a must)
Implement a dynamic typing effect for chat simulation using JavaScript or a relevant library
Implement dynamic video embedding to automatically display highlight reels based on the user’s selected destination (via YouTube API, api.video, or other dynamic video services)
Ensuring a secure, scalable, GDPR-compliant architecture
Scope:
Approximately 13 to 15 pages
A clean, professional, but dynamic design
Integration of all listed APIs and functionalities
Deliverables:
Full responsive website
API integrations (Google Places, Mapbox, Viator)
Payment processing (PayPal, Venmo, Stripe)
SEO-optimized pages
Google Analytics tracking integrated
Dynamic video embedding based on user-selected destinations
Secure, scalable, GDPR-compliant architecture
Proposal Requirements:
Only proposals with a minimum of 3 links to past work will be considered
Bonus points if prior work is in the travel industry, but this is not required
Fluency in English is required
Please provide a rough timeline for delivery
We’re excited to see your proposals!

Hi, this is a great concept.
Before applying, I just want to clarify how you’re structuring this within the current budget. Are you aiming for a lean MVP for the first phase, or expecting all listed integrations such as Google Places API, Mapbox, Viator, and payment systems like Stripe to be fully implemented from the start?
Also, which 2–3 features are the highest priority for the initial build? -

Hi, thanks for sharing this. It’s a very interesting concept.
Given the $600 budget, I just want to clarify the intended scope so I can propose something realistic and deliverable:
Are you aiming for a lean MVP version of the platform rather than full integration of all listed features?
Which 2–3 features are the highest priority for the first version (e.g. trip planning, basic AI recommendations, or map integration)?
Should payment integrations and advanced APIs like Viator be included now, or phased into a later stage?
Is there an existing design, or should this be a simple, clean functional build for the first release?
If helpful, I can suggest a focused Phase 1 approach that fits the budget and still delivers a strong foundation. -

We have already built a very similar AI travel planning platform before.
Here is one reference you can check:
https://nxvoytrips.ai
It’s an AI-based trip planner where users can create personalized itineraries, optimize routes, and get smart travel recommendations instantly
Please have a quick look and let me know your thoughts.
Happy to discuss your requirement in more detail. -

Hi, thanks for the detailed brief. Just to scope this correctly, could you confirm: whether the UI/UX design is already finalized, if the AI recommendation logic is defined or needs to be built, whether API data (Places/Viator) should be real-time or cached, and if you have a preferred backend/cloud setup for scalability and GDPR compliance?
-

Can you please confirm:-
- Do you want the AI recommendations to be fully custom-built (using models like Amazon Web Services Bedrock / OpenAI), or should it also rely on external travel APIs for suggestions?
- Should users be able to complete bookings (hotels/activities) directly inside the platform, or will it redirect to third-party providers? -

Before submitting proposal few questions:
- AI Scope (Highest impact—uncovers backend complexity): "For AI recommendations, are you using a pre-built service (e.g., Gemini/OpenAI) or a custom ML model?"
- Animations (GSAP-specific, shows UI mastery): "Any reference GSAP effects/demos in mind (e.g., ScrollTrigger pins), or shall I propose travel-optimized ones?"
- Budget (Essential qualifier): "Is the $600 budget fixed, or flexible for full expert delivery?
