CMS

Hi, I am developing an information portal and need to have the system built to a high standard. I need site visitors to be wowed by the look and functionality. I have a very good idea what i want the end result to look like and in most cases will provide an html version of the pages. I am also open to ideas on how the site look, feel and functionality can be improved. This is a private project NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE! Depending on how this project goes i will be looking to form a long term relationship with the successful bidder on other projects. To successfully bid for this project you should have excellent knowledge and experience of the following: script installation and adaptation,php, mysql, database design, web design, flash, style sheets, content management systems, action scripts,design for SEO and website security.

Shortlist of chosen coders will be given location of sample and asked for feedback on bid. The site is divided into modules each with two or more categories. admin should be able to grant access to module area or specific area within module. i.e access to one module's admin will not necessarily grant access to another. Modules should be designed so stand on their own as changes to one module should not affect the others. i.e access to one module's admin will not necessarily grant access to another It could also be designed with expected addition of further modules. Categories within modules should also be designed so the removal or addition of one category does not affect the other categories. i.e. design with max number of categories setup for each module. admin can assign category [login to view URL] one cat is unpublished the others move up one.
