Developer needed for migration

Good morning,

We need to migrate and redesign the web http://hermandadblanca.org/. Nowadays we are having over 200,000 monthly visits, over 100,000 unique visitors and we manage and email list with “newsletters” and announcements once or twice a week for approximately 21,000 people having over 1000 new subscriptions every month.

Basically we want that the web to be focussed on four areas:

News Broadcasting (like a digital newspaper)

Organization of events (activities, meetings…a calendar and widgets…)

Managing multimedia staff (digital books, image gallery…)

Social community (Forum…)

The system that we have in the present is based on Word Press and we are continually having problems each time we have actualizations or when we add a new module so we have thought that drupal will provide us more stability and dimension. As far as the hardware we use a dedicated server from the company unixy.net (very complete and powerful), and they are in charge of the maintenance and management.

We are an ONG that works on social projects and we do not have much income. Everything is collected based on donations. Can you send us a budget or estimation for migrating and redesigning the web? Here we have a list of the needs we have:

PHASE 1: Migration to DRUPAL or another more stable and professional system than Word Press (what we actually have now).

• MIGRATION OF EXISTING CONTENTS from Word Press (articles, statistics from the articles (visits), comments, pages, users, forum, etc...)

• Organization based on the information coming from labels and tags (or similar)

• MIGRATION AND RENOVATION OF THE ACTUAL GRAPHIC DESIGN

• Create a new theme for DRUPAL from the existing theme in Word Press, including small improvements to renovate but keeping the same structure.

• Implementation of “Pages” as far as the static content and “Articles” for the dynamic content that we publish in the cover. This will change according to the publication date and other factors.

• The implementation of comments at the end of the articles and pages, organized by numbers.

• Automatic Google Translator integrated in all pages.

• The integration of FLICKR for the ALBUM and photo galleries.

• The integration of a PHPBB current forum or using a drupal forum but migrating the current content.

• The integration of voopod videos page (page and widget)

• The integration of AMAZON S3 to manage files and archives (digital books etc)

• The implementation of a contact form

• The automation to use thumbnails for the whole theme

• MULTI-LANGUAGE system to broadcast information (we want to translate a lot of Spanish language content to other languages and to have this integrated despite the automatic translator).

• Functionalities to show: most seen articles, related articles, most valued articles, aleatory articles, etc... and likewise for all the pages.

• Functions to allow the normal print, a PDF print and to send articles and pages by email.

• Functions to share social networks (for example sexy bookmarks)

• New question sheet / Data base to manage information from the Light circles throughout the world (IICL) from the back-office and to be able to visualize automatically with the new look.

• New question sheet / Date base to manage information for a new project that we are working on “Professional Directory” to recommend professionals in various fields.

• New questions sheet / Date base to manage information coming from the people interested in the REC3 project (another page, but in this case the management is private, not public)

• Media player to reproduce music and videos inserted in the pages

• The implementation of an “event and activities” calendar managed by the back-office and visualized in the mail page.

• "Rotative" small box in the cover page for the main contents (big and very visual)

• The possibility to include drop-down widgets and sheet "accordion" style in the right column to optimize the space (i.e: http://konstruktors.com/blog/projects-services/wordpress-plugins/tabbed-...), or also tabs without the accordion effect

*A very simple "Users in line" Module to know the server´s load from the main page.

• The implementation if LINKS updated from a question sheet in the back office and with a public page style banner, etc

*The implementation of DIGITAL BOOKS section, managed by categories for the users to browse by section and to download books (stored in amazon S3 or other places)

• The implementation of an "ARCHIVE" page with a brief summary of all the published content (as far as pages and articles), organized by months and years, cloud tags and categories, etc… to make it easy for people to find all information they need.

• The functionality for the contents to be totally public or only visible for concrete users, and likewise for the multimedia contents.

• SEO INTEGRATION (very important) for positioning and searchs

• Integration with google analytics y Google XML Sitemaps for searchers

• Integration with the google searcher for internal searchs

• Recomendations and proposals to improve the positioning and ranking

• SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE BACK-OFFICE

• MULTI-USER complete system, in addition to the social community and the forum we have a group of people collaborating in different departments distributed in the following way:

Every role must be able to be integrated in the article meta tags in order to organize the contents and tasks. In other words, we need to know whether the content comes from a static page, from a normal edition article, from a multimedia article content, etc…

We need to be able to include new roles and publication status easily from the back-office.

• Possibility to manage, create, edit and maintain all content from some sort of editor (MS Word-like) in the back-office.

• A function that allows us to include in an automatic fashion the article thumbnails or the pages during the publication or edition, so it is shown in the theme.

• Management of comments and received notices in the articles or pages for moderation

• Integration of the multimedia galleries from the editor in the back-office for use during the publication of the new articles (flickr, amazon S3) with the editor MS Word-like from the back-office

• Integration with FLICKR for the photo gallery management

• Integration with VOOPOD for the video gallery management

• Integration with AMAZON s3 to download and storage multimedia and libraries

• Widgets management from the back-office to facilitate changes in the web

• Advertisement management in the theme through widgets

• Manager for downloading files, music and multimedia gallery photo, with pages to “present” the multimedia content to users + widgets

• Integration of Google Analytics report in the back-office (OPTIONAL)

• Possibility to increase and add plug-ins from the back-office

• SPAM management for the comments to be filtered automatically

• "Users on line" Module with statistics in the back-office

• ADVERTISING AND NEWSLETTERS

• Newsletter – integration with PHPLIST for managing the news report. We have a virtual Server (besides the main one) for the report mailing (or the proposal to better manage the newsletter mailing)

• Integration of advertising widgets in the theme and management from the back-office (rotating banners, expiration date groups, etc)

• SEGURITY AND BACKUPS

• Automatic creation of daily backups independent from the ddbb and content, possibility to restore, and backup file management (possibility to download or storage in amazon or ftp), all managed in the back-office.

• CACHES – ACCELERATORS AND OPTIMIZATION

• The use of caches and accelerators for high traffic places, in drupal and in the server´s caches.

• BBDD Optimization code for high traffic places

PHASE 2: Improvement of new functionalities

• A deeper graphic design renovation guided towards a digital journal mixed with a social community (like elmundo.es or similar). Propositions for the improvement in the graphic design

• Multi-domain for the users to create blogs inside the web

• Proposals for extra social red functionalities

PHASE 3: Maintenance

We would also like the option to add a maintenance and actualization pack proposal, alter the usual initial guarantee period in order for us to evaluate.
