Greetings,
I have read initial high level requirements & seen the attached PDF document, which is VERY nicely prepared with all the features of your website, so let me formally confirm you that we can do this project but is your time-line less than a week or is it just a mistake? Because this is not a small website, there are loads of features, which we have to develop.
As far as the UI/Layout is concerned, I will my Designer to show you few mock-up design options of the Home Page for you to see and get your feedback, once you see the mock-up design option, you can then provide us detailed feedback/changes/comments, so our Designers can revise it till you're happy/satisfied. We can revise as many times as you want till you're happy.
Secondly, can we use PHP/MySQL along with WordPress or custom coding using some framework like CodeIgnitor, Zend, Yii etc.
Let me know, if you want to review some of our past work as I don't want to bombard you with lot of links at first place.
Look forward to hearing from you and talking to you further thru' Freelancer message board.
Regards,
YK
