If you're looking for..
1. someone to 'create blogs of sort':
- sure, you can have any blog done for you in just a couple of hours as you're also going to be dealing with someone who has been into the field for years now.
2. Users visiting the site should have the option to "register" with the site and submit their name and email to receive the "newsletter" (details as of the terminology used will be discussed with the winning bidder)
- Not a problem at all. I can have your site running on one of the most flexible and user-friendly platforms out there.
This makes it easy for new users to register to the site. I also won't just set up a form where users can fill up to receive newsletters, but I would also integrate a premium plugin that would enable you to send and receive newsletters straight from your admin panel. It's just like having Aweber, GetResponse, Mailchimp or any other newsletter service inside your site. Best of all, it won't cost you extra.
3. Ideally I would like to be able to login as an admin, go and post my daily, weekly or monthly update, whatever it might be, and the users that have signed up receive a preview of that new thread:
- Like I said, your site would be set up in the most flexible, not to mention user-friendly platforms out there.
So this would enable you to post updates anytime you want and whenever you may be even without any technical assistance from anyone, not even from me.
You can even choose to schedule when your posts would be published. For example, you have a post on Mutual bonds investment, but you don't want to publish it right away. You can simply schedule this to be posted on another time of the day, and you can choose what time exactly it would be!
4. Also, I would like to keep the option to add advertising banners sometime in the future, the site should have some other elements in as well such as financial calculators etc, those details will also be discussed with the winning bidder.
- Should be no problem at all. In fact the theme I'd be installing in your site would even have its own built-in advertising management that allows you to add, remove, modify your ads anytime you want. Not only that, you choose to place diff. ads in many places in your site so to maximize exposure and site revenue all in all. This doesn't go only for ads, but also for any other extension (financial calculator, etc.) you might have in mind.
5. I should add, if its possible to code in a format that is also mobile/tablet friendly. Thanks! Sure, no problem at all. The templates to be installed are actually already mobile/tablet friendly, even compatible to the latest versions of all browsers today.
