I have a background in Software/Game Development, and over 15 years experience in web design & development. I am familiar with Open Source Content Management Systems and have served as Web Developer for many sites that utilize proprietary Content Management Systems.
The functionality required to facilitate your site requirements (namely Social Media) can be easily provided via plugins in many Open Source Frameworks, and any missing/additional functionality can be added on top.
The time required to reach a working prototype is usually 2-3 days once the server has been set up.
Constant contact with clients is paramount to the success of the project, and I am happy to be available 24/7 via email, Skype, etc, to answer any questions or address any concerns pertaining to the project.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to a favorable response.
