Greetings,
I BELIEVE MY TEAM POSSESSES THE RIGHT SKILLSET FOR THIS TASK. We have already completed many web project with varied level of complexities. Our team has over 12 years of programming expertise with PHP technologies, jQuery and Javascript. Wordpress, Joomla & Magento are our core competencies.
There are a couple of questions I'd like to ask to further clarify your requiements. I might ask you few followup questions once I have your attention. It might result in refining my bid a bit more.
The current rating system of Freelancer.Com does not do much justice with the freelancers and while trying to break it down a little too much they have some what created a mis-representing first image of our capabilities and accomplishments. I'd encourage you to review what my current clients have to say about my work quality and professional ethics. You can read their comments by directly visiting:

We always preferred to start with 0% initial milestones and/or no advances but recently we've landed in some troubled waters where the clients withdrew (or totally went off the scene) after the project was awarded and we ended up paying commission to Freelancer platfrom for the business we never got. So now we have revised our policy to request certain milestone release upon project awarding. This is a safe-guarding measure and I hope you understand and agree with it.
Let's get it started and have it done!
Regards,
John.
