Would use Yii framework for your project, I have 3+ years of experience working with Yii and over 1Gb of Yii code developed.I am specialized in Yii as you can see in our freelancer activity I only took projects on Yii. A lot of stuff I have already built and I can just install the working code into your application, with Git, migrations and TDD 100% test coverage. If you want I can ask a few of my clients for references. I work with all my clients with an issue tracker. All my work will be under your close surveillance this way.
