Looking for PHP Programmer for CMS Project

[novon]

Hi

I'm building an online subscription service. I need an experienced PHP/MySQL guru to build a simple dynamic site builder based on design templates that I'll be designing. I also need these page builders to be user-authenticated and integrated with aMember's user-system (www.amember.com). So someone will register through aMember, pay, login, and then be able to build their website from some predefined templates, and enter their own text content/images...an update as needed.

There are a couple open-source CMS systems that this could be built on, so the wheel doesn't have to be reinvented...it will be pretty simple. I just need it integrated seamlessly with aMember, and my user interface...and maybe add a couple custom features. I also will need to be able to add new template designs pretty easily.

The timeframe is about 2-3 weeks. Please send a quote, and links to previous projects and what you did on them. People with experience in template/CMS systems and subscription/eCommerce integration will get + points. Depending on how good of a job you do, this will lead to future projects/feature integration.

Thanks! :)

Just a small comment:

The timeframe is about 2-3 weeks.

Reading that after having read the work involved, I can only say that you are way too optimistic with this timeframe estimation. If things go smooth and perfect at the first try, I'd say the double amount of time could be sufficient. Even then, it could take longer. Some ToDos aren't that good described by you so I can't comment how much of a time bomb they could become. And yes, I have built similar systems in the past, and many of them.

So here's a suggestion: Require applicants to not only send a quote and references, but also a preliminary plan describing how they would organize the work, and where they think the most important/time-consuming points are. I could imagine that you'll get quite happy with the coder who said in advance that point A,B and C would take more time, and that he projected completion to be done in X more weeks. Compare this to someone who just says "no problem, it's easy, cost you 200$, will be done next week", but isn't able to deliver because he underestimated the tasks at hand greatly.

As I said, that's just an idea. :)

Hi, i could offer you a solution in that timeframe for 250$ exclusive
templates/html work.
I will use my own CMS engine that is delivered in bytecode format (no php source) and you are not allowed to resell or deliver the CMS library to others. The library has a police , that i will give tecnical support and, in the case, that i going out of business, you receive the source code.
This library come with appropiate webmaster and user documentation.
If you are really interrested, i could set up a demo page in 2-3 business days.
I use this CMS for my own web customers.
If you have already some templates, i probably can setup the demo using
this templates.

Regards
Chris
