Hi,
My name is Dom Weldon and I'm a freelancer based in Cambridge in the United Kingdom. I'd love to work on this project with you - it's quite similar to another project I am currently quoting for an existing client. Your specification was very clear and I can create the system you mentioned quite quickly. However, I had a few questions:
1. How frequently would you want to update the information on the system and how easily should this information be updated? The site can be created either as a system which downloads all the data once and then displays it all until it's refreshed, or one which constantly pulls data from the server so that any update is automatic - which would be preferable?
2. What information would be displayed in each zone? For example, would this be just a name, a few bits of text, or a photo / video etc.?
3. Would you like any additional information displayed on the page? For example, the time, weather updates, rolling news etc.?
4. Would you need to be able to alter the colour scheme or design frequently?
5. How many signs would there be? Would you only ever use this on one sign, or would you like the option to have multiple signs run off one system?
I would use the Symfony2 PHP framework and JQuery to code this design, and would hope to get it finished within a day or so (I've said 96 hours max).The site could be setup on any server, but I would recommend using a Linux server - possibly on somewhere like Digital Ocean.
Best wishes,
Dom
