Hi, I read your project description and I find it quite interesting. I am an expert web developer with 6 years of experience and I have been building websites and web applications for startups and small to medium sized businesses that are not only functional but also look great! I have a ton of skills under my belt and I am able to implement a variety of technologies that are part of the modern web including responsive web design, Content Management systems (like WordPress), social media integration, online system automation and more.
As far as I understand, you want to build a platform where companies can have internet presence and people from the community can communicate with the companies, review them and get their latest news. I like the idea, and I already have some basic plan/ideas on mind for the website/portal.
I have a lot of questions, however, regarding the project. Do you already have a design laid out for the website ? Are your users going to visit the website via mobile or using desktop computers ? Is there any specific technologies or services that you want me to integrate with your website (maybe Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn) ? Also, you haven't mentioned the project budget and time frame.
If you prefer discussing these details in person, it would be my pleasure to sit down and talk it through with you! Kindly, contact me so we can arrange a meeting.
Looking forward to working with you.
Regards.
