I am a new freelancer. I am not looking for money right away, only good feedback and connections.
I have 14 years of experience in PHP, Java, Ruby on Rails and Python/Django and also with AngularJS, Ember, Backbone, JQuery, Bootstrap.
I am a good web designer too. Of course, Wordpress has been responsible for me paying bills for quite sometime now.
The way do things is, if you can give me the top 20 features you want to be built in this website, I can estimate time for doing styling, adding plugins or components, writing queries (backend) and integrating for different levels of features. You can have multiple features which can have features inside them, so I can arrive at something realistic. This is important if I have to find someonne else to assist me in the job and if I can do them all alone. I am good at explaining things and getting things done, in addition to doing the job, if I were to do it all alone. But it will take time, though.
