Build a Website

The website will be hosted on a single ubuntu server 14.04 LTS (currently in beta) Apache 2.4 with an nginx 1.5 reverse proxy with SPDY. The DB will be MySQL. I know how to set this part up if you do not know how. The website itself will be built using PHP and the Yii framework. Yii will use its built in DAO for database access. The website will consist of marketing brochure site & webapp site after login. The login page & all protected pages after the login will be HTTPS. Only the marketing site will be HTTP. The website will have 5 different user permission levels 1. Super Admin, access all areas of the site & user management 2. Basic Level, access to certain areas. 3. Pro Level, access to all Basic areas plus some more areas 4. Quantum level, access to all Basic level areas & all Pro level areas plus some more areas, All areas minus the user management area of the Super Admin. 5. 15 day Trial. Access to Quantum Level for 15 days. If the user does not purchase a membership, the account locks. A user will be able to purchase different levels (except Super Admin). The user can also change levels at anytime, but actual permission change will take place at next billing cycle. Purchasing will be done with recurring billing. The three payment processors that need integration are Amazon, Paypal, & Stripe. The integration will be done using their secure API's, not simple redirection. A user will be able to create, read, update, & delete (CRUD) in a restful URL the following: 1. Companies/Clients 2. Employees 3. Employee Time Sheets 4. Jobs 5. Services 6. Materials These sections will be fleshed out, with us during the project, but they will be relatively simple CRUD operations. There will also be custom analytic report pages TBD later. It will use JavaScript based graphs. We are open to other graphing packages, but are partial to high charts JS. In the initial quote, figure for a 1 metric analytic. It will be a simple analytic showing the time from when an employee is marked as clocked in on the time sheet to the time they check in their first job. Initially the information will all come from manual entry on the website, there is no tie in to other data sources, that will be a different project. The user will also be able to access their own account page which will contain contact info & billing summary. The billing summary will also contain a link to change the billing plan. The site will use JavaScript and CSS. The CSS & JS will be split into different files. 1 JS & CSS file for site wide & 1 JS/CSS file for each page section(companies, employees, etc...). The site can use JS frameworks such as jQuery as long as they are mainstream and the newest versions. CSS can use frameworks such as less, as long as the final product is compiled. The site skin./theme is not part of the scope of this project aside from the general layout CSS. Layout must be done with DIVs and NOT with nested tables. If a framework with a responsive design, such as bootstrap, is used the fulls responsive layout must be designed as part of the project. However, this is not required. We just do not want a half made responsive design used when viewed from a mobile device. Either they see the full desktop site and no responsive site, or they see a fully designed responsive site. However, if no responsive design is included, testing must be done on mobile devices to determine that zooming works with any JS or modals throughout the site. I know this is a lot for an initial description, but the site is relatively simple. We just have been down this road before & want to provide as many details up front.
