Get a Freelance Job

Recently used Scriptlance to contract a designer who left us with a uncompleted project. All we have is the screenshots of his work and a link to the test server which will probably be removed when he sees this, http://thehostroom.com/WoodlandsCMS

Our goal was to have a completed revamped school website within a month, yet it’s been over 3 months and we’re no where near being complete.We need a fast working, good commnication, web designer, with no BS. I’m online doing the day and would like a daily update on the site, even its two sentences.

which included the following:
1. new school layout and design
2. admin panel where mulitple teachers can log onto the admin panel and edit their own pages through out the site, ( hence there has to be a way to give out passwords to different users within the admin panel)
3. the admin panel has to be search engine friendly, the content has be to seen by the spiders, admin panel has to allow images to be uploaded. The previous designer had it setup where, we could change out the sub headers within the admin panel which was a nice feature, all I have to do is browse to the image I wanted, he provided the psd file
4. We have a school management software called Renweb, their website is called renweb.com. We would like the data that teachers enter into renweb to be pulled and placed on the home page under events. Renweb will grant access to the ODBC setting, but they need an ip address ( this is very important that this information is auto pulled)
5. our current site is located on register.com with the highest hosting package they offer
6. We want our site to be as close as possible to masterschool.org
(page height, layout, and all ) you will see the work the previous contractor half way did, this the type of layout we’re looking for.
7. Datelines and updates have to be met. If you have a date it should be finsihed by that date. We are way behind on schedule now, thanks to the previous contractor.
8. Payment, SL had issues with our payments before, anything over 2k. We will not pay up front, we will not pay half down until we see where the project is going.How your communication skills are and design skills, once seen we’ll put money down.
We’re not here to waste our time and your time, nor are we here to get scammed.
9. If you would like a long lasting relationship with a dependable client, we are it.
10. SEO is a must, to view our current site visit www.woodlandsprep.org, you have to be knowledge to SEO!
11. we do not want false promises, don’t say you can do it then, 3 weeks down the road, say you can’t
12. The Media Resource section of the website, we have a virtual tour, which is down by a third party, but we’re looking for a video and photo gallery module too. We want the teachers to be able to log onto the admin panel for the resource center and upload classroom videos and have it placed by date with a scroll over preview option, ( only site I know does this is, youporn.com and redtube.com) As far as photo uploades, images need to be auto resized when uploaded. Gallery needs to be flashy and get an attention getter.

I need to create an italian-english website portal.
For the italian zone….i need it to autoupdate its content day by day with most relevant today news from italy and from the world(written in italian language)this updating method should not be made in javascript because i read that google bots will not be able to read it so this will not help me on serp.(the autoupdating option will be managed from the admin panel in all its aspects)
I need that when a people enter my websites find the most relevant news witten in italian and have the possibility to comment them in seconds (like a kind of autoupdating blog).they will also have the possibility to vote “Yes or no” near each fact with a simple click. and to see results after they have voted.
i want also to be able to manually add my posts anyway and they can vote or comment them too.
I want it to have rss feed too.
On the main page of the site (on the right) there should be a google search bar(a small one) so that people can use my portal as their main home page.google results will display directly on my page( a very small and not desturbing bar of the site will remain up in the the top frame).
+ ebay search bar(with results that are listed directly on my webpage and then if clicked i will earn money with ebay affiliate program. i do not know if this is possible anyway let me know if it is not.)
i also need that the portal is integrated with google adsense and ebay affiliate images in all pages.
the portal should have the possibility to add a forum zone too(integrated with google adsense and ebay affiliate links too).anyway i do not need you make any forum now.
the portal should also have an youtube bar so people can search youtube videos inside a big frame of my website and will have my top bar always visible if they want to do other things on my website.

the portal should have an admin panel where it is possible to easily and fast change the keywords of all pages and manage affiliations for: google adsense, ebay, clickbank, amazon + manage banners content and general layout ,links + images and buttons.
the admin panel should have more functions possible and an easy structure.
the site will have an english zone too with the same structure but its own content (autoupdating contenct with ENGLISH news (no more italian this time)etc etc and all functions are integrated with adsense+ebay+amazon+clikbank.(everything can be managed from the admin panel)

graphich for the whole portal should be good, clear and light…related to universe space mysteries and human evolution…this is because the website will talk about arguments like: the world today, political facts, philosophy, history,mysteries etc etc.

i see that many ready turnkey websites have good integration with affiliate programs but i want mine to be a sort of portal where people can vote comment and discuss about actual news(autoupdated) or things posted by me and they have everything under control (i mean google search bar,ebay search bar,youtube search bar,a facebook button+a myspace button + twitter etc etc so they are fast redirected to the place they want if they want it and my portal website will remain open since all these redirection will open a new page or some of they will remain in a frame of my page. i still need to understand what is better about this).

site has to be easy light and clear…not flash heavy content etc etc.
it has to be an all in one portal for people that want to stay updated with facts,express their votes and opinions and want to have all the most relevant web under control at a click far (youtube ebay facebook myspace google etc etc)

this is my idea anyway suggestion are always accepted.

remember that the website has to be made with an italian zone and an english one.
so i do not know how affiliation work in this case…anyway i want affiliate images or links are in the same language of the user.
i want that when an user came on the site he is automatically placed on his own language zone(ip autochecking?) and have the possibility to change the zone just clicking one flag at the top of the page.
autoupdating content will be in english for the english zone and in italian for the italian one.
(autoupdating contenct options will be in the admin panel so i can change everything about it to take news from everywhere i prefer. let me know if this is possible.)

i do not have idea if this is an easy or an hard work for a good programmer.
all i can say is that i will not give this work to the first man that say me he can.
i want this to be a good project and made in the best possible way.
original content, original ideas and original structure and design.

this is what i am looking for.
