Building a community site for a small town

Permalink
Hi, I've been posting a job around the various freelance marketplaces to build me a small town website/portal. I had initially set my sights on the big 3 but having recently (like yesterday!) discovered C5, I'm feeling quite attracted to this CMS. Firstly, I'd like to know if C5 is going to be a suitable solution for my CMS (details below), and secondly where can I submit a job post so I could possibly get some freelancers on here bidding for the job?
EDIT : I've just found the Jobs area under Community. I'll post the job up there if anyone is interested.

Here's the spec I have posted on job sites, I've also attached a little extra info:

I’m looking for someone to help me build a town/community website/portal. I need to setup the site in such a way that it becomes quite self-sufficient only requiring me (or other admins) to approve various content such as adverts, etc. I’d like to get the foundations of the site up & running quite quickly, with the refinements and features being added later. I would like to work with someone who likes to work through the design process of wireframing/sketching through to final usability and testing etc.

I would like the site framework to be built with a popular CMS such as Joomla!, Drupal, Wordpress or Dolphin CMS. Essentially here are some of the features I require:
- Advert management - allowing businesses to submit and pay for adverts, also with statistical information on hits, etc.
- Business Directory - allow businesses to submit/modify their business listing, also allowing for a premium listing at the top of that category/search.
- Classifieds - allow community members/local townsfolk to list items for sale, etc.
- Events, Clubs/Societies, allowing them to have a page listed in the various categories of the site such as Sports clubs which details their current information and news
- Current News - editable content for news also allowing news feeds from other sources
- Social networking elements - links to facebook, twitter, etc.
- Authentication from other networks (facebook, twitter, google, etc.)
- Forums - local discussion area (possibly using an integrated solution such as phpBB or Phorum)
- Social network - allowing users to connect and share photos, music, videos, etc. - either directly on the site or YouTube, etc.
- Website optimisation - must be well optimised and all code valid XHTML & CSS. Google Analytics, etc. built in.
- Security - the site must be secure and tested for security - with SSL for payments & logons, etc. All personal data held encrypted in the databases.
- Lastly, the design must be easy to use, slick, clean and very 2010 looking - I really don’t want a crappy template that looks like a site designed in 1998!!! I’d like to see use of modern scripting jQuery/AJAX, etc.

much of this can be accomplished with add-ons in the marketplace. some of it would have to be custom work on top of the user profile model that already exists in concrete5.

all very doable.

thanks frz.
I had a look through the add-ons, some stuff I couldn't find like an advert manager and classifieds and business directory listing - ideally all of which allow users/members of the site publish content (which would need approval in most cases)

adserver for the ads

the classified/buisness listings you could add with just a text block, simple news/pro news, or you could try to convince c5 to publish their jobs feature )this could also be accomplished with a modified forum.

pro events for events

simple news/ pro news/rss for news

social network links

all the themes and addons are checked for this before their launch

c5 security

any of the themes currently available- several professional free ones
