Hi,
So I was hired on months back as a freelancer to manage this New York school system site. I wanted to reach out and get some recommendations if Joomla would be up to the task of managing this site. This current development of the site is a hybrid of using simple machines forum for forum and the user database, and than a wordpress blog. All of this is wrapped together running a custom CMS, and this crazy index12.php file. I am tasked with making a development proposals, so i would be looking for componet developers and a graphic designer hoping to get someone from the list as everyone involved so far is New York based. I am wonder anyone else know of site running joomla that gets around 7 million page views a year? i am hoping this to increase after the upgrade to over 10 million. I am worried about performance. maybe joomla.org<http://joomla.org>? Other questions. The Main focus of the site are the school profiles Example: http://insideschools.org/index12.php?fs=1262&all=y This I could only imagine being a custom built component, this would need to include an advanced search function example: http://insideschools.org/?f=adv, Search Module, and a recent comments module. (Each school has comments.) what do you think the estimated Development Costs for a component like this would be. ----- Anyone from the list have Joomla Template Design experience want to send me a few work examples and the layouts and some cost estimates? ----- I have already talked directly to a few people on this list offering work on this project and it actually comes into a go status I will still contact you directly about it. I am just trying to get a total estimated cost for the over hual and a feature list of "why" to justify that cost. Chris
