I READ THIS
Hi,
I read your description carefully. I am a Project Manager with the team that can do this, but before starting, I would like to discuss this with you in details.
You want the whole total code built up, or we can use as a base, CMS systems like joomla,drupal, etc ?
If you want the whole code built up from scratch, then believe me that there is absolutely no one, that for $1500 and 30 days, will build you something like groupon. Designing the database tables, testing, creating php files, css, html and doing penetration and security tests, compatibility issues, resizing images when being uploaded, etc you will NEVER get anyone here to do that for you.
Remember this and you will get back at me 1 month from now :)
To achieve something like this, you need extremely big teams of 15+ persons, with 7+ years of expertise each on different fields and also infinite hours of testing.
For example, only for the image resizing when someone uploads an image in your website, you will have to use some premade PHP script, that might or might not be compatible with PHP5, might not work as you wish and might need multiple hours of coding just to fix it and adapt it.
I hope you understand this. If you understand this, in 30 days, using a CMS like Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress, we can achieve a very nice thing that is like groupon, but with your design.
If this is not ok for you, then please forgive my bid and do not choose me.
Regards,
Francesco
