Hello,
Unlike everyone, I will not advertise myself a lot but, I can for sure send you my LinkedIn profile. For last 6 years, I have been doing application architecture according to client needs. What I can propose is.
1. We have detailed calls regarding my understanding of your project.
2. I will give you a rough sketch on paper for you to see for 2-3 pages.
3. You will review those and your suggestions will be integrated.
4. Then I will build, based on #3, complete wireframe of the website.
5. At this stage, you will be able to determine how it will feel like.
In addition to that, I will tell you
1. Application architecture
2. What platform to use
3. What language, database and stack to use.
4. What hardware will be the best.
Thats it. If you like me, you can hire my team for complete development as well.
Let me know if this sounds reasonable.
Thank you,
Zeeshan
