[PAID] Looking for web developer Thread

Hey everyone,

First of all: Thank you for reading this.

I actually have a quite urgent request, and so far haven't had any luck anywhere else to find someone who is willing to help. I'll try to explain this quickly:

1.) About me: I am a graphic designer, and certainly have no issue helping with the web design. Talina-yldrania.com

2.) About the job:I need a web developer to do the coding for the following things:
- Global Login / Member Area
- Online Shop
- Own Forum Software
Yes, I do realize how much work that is because I myself have failed to create these things after trying for weeks.

3.) About the project it is for:
We are creating a medieval ranch, most likely in Germany, where we focus on mainly horses, dogs and cats. We will take as many animals as possible from shelters all around the world. A number of employees will be chosen among homeless people who otherwise would have a minimum chance of getting back into a humane life. Some orphans from developing countries might hopefully find a home at the ranch and get the opportunity to go to German schools, while otherwise they would have lived a life in poverty and drugs.
There are many services provided by the ranch for public, such as the opportunity to spend medieval holidays there, medieval events, riding lessons (normal and special medieval riding classes), boxes to rent for people with horses, therapy for and with horses, and much more. All of the money not needed for the upkeep of the ranch itself will be donated to other charity projects.

4.) About the reward for the job:Even though I can't offer much money to pay the developer with, I have managed to figure out a way to give a good reward to the person willing to help this unusual charity project.The developer will, after successful completion of the homepage with the required features receive a package with the following things (shipment costs are paid by me):

- Gift Card for a 2-week holiday on the medieval ranch after it is completed for yourself and one additional person of your choice. You may choose your residence (as long as it is free at the time you wish to come), and take any from the cheapest to the most expensive one. All food, water, and other living costs for that amount of time are included in the coupon. Up to a value of 10.000€. (Travel expenses are not included.) (There is NO expiration date on the gift card, you can use it any time you wish after the ranch is established.)
- T-Shirt of the medieval ranch. Value = 25€
- T-Shirt of the company. Value = 25€
- Poster of the medieval ranch. Value = 10€- Credit for the website on the homepage itself, and on the list of donators/sponsors. Value = More customers.

5.) About the rights for the codes:- The codes and homepage must be done for the company only. We do not want anyone else to use these codes, which is the reason we will pay with things of a value of over 10.000€. That is especially important for the forum software.

6.) Contact me:- Email: nihal96@live.de- Reply here- Send me a PMFor any questions, or if you're interested in the job itself, please let me know.

Thank you for reading this, and to the kind person who might take up the job,
Yldrania

Out of interest - why do you need your own online shop & forum, rather than customized versions of existing apps/scripts?

I have used a lot of existing codes before, especially forum wise, but none suits the requirements in layout and features that I was looking for, so I decided that I need to get a custom version - quite a simple reason. I realize how much work and how difficult that is, which is why I am asking for support

i don't think any 1 programmer can do an online shop + forum software from scratch, and be as good or better than existing options.
not to mention the cost.

True, one web developer might not, but we've actually found a few so far that are working together. Spots in the team are still open, the way of payment will have to be rediscussed - some just wish to be credited and get some AD space on the homepage for a while. So thanks to everyone for reading this

One developer could do all that, but from scratch would take far too long and be very expensive. So most would rather use existing frameworks to build upon and improve/add more features to. Like, Wordpress has Woocommerce, BBpress and Buddypress which can be used to build what you ask.
Otherwise, there's tons of other frameworks such as Bootstrap that has foundations for what you need.

And I have never heard that anyone needs something for forums more advanced than PHPbb3 or vBulletin.

I don't need forums more advanced than that. I need forums with a totally different set of features than PHPbb. Nothing more advanced, but sadly so different that making it from one of those is pretty much impossible.
