Community-Centric Ad Publishing Platform

Hi,
I am looking for an experienced web developer (or development team) to build a community-focused advertising and publishing platform. This project will be developed in phases, starting with a Phase 1 MVP and eventually expanding to a full ERP-style system.
Phase 1 – MVP (Immediate Need)
Core Features:

Users can select their neighborhood or community (e.g., Borough Park, Williamsburg, Monroe, Flatbush).
Publication Directory:
A clean, searchable listing of community publications with:

Language
Weekly circulation
Deadlines
Contact information
Optional basic pricing
Request a Quote:
Users can submit ad placement requests to publications, including:
Business name & contact info
Ad size and format
Upload file / request graphic design assistance
Phase 1 can be manual handling of requests
Graphics Marketplace:

Pricing
Users can browse and contact designers directly
Featured Placement / Monetization Test:
Ability to highlight publications or designers for a monthly fee
Simple front-page featured listings

Additional MVP Requirements
Messaging System:
Platform must be able to send SMS and email messages to:
Designers in the marketplace

Must include robust filtering and search options, e.g.:

By ad size or designer skill
Must support sorting, tagging, and easy navigation
Full System Vision (Future Phase / Long-Term)
The ultimate goal is to expand into a full ERP system with:
Automated pricing and ad placement workflow
Deadlines and reminders for publications and advertisers
Online payments and invoicing
Multi-role dashboards (advertisers, publications, designers)
Advanced reporting and analytics
Expectations from Developer
Experience with large-scale web applications
Strong knowledge of databases, filtering, and search optimization
Ability to scale the MVP to a full ERP system
Can provide advice on architecture and best practices from the start
Next Steps:
Please respond with:
Your portfolio of relevant projects
Estimated timeline and cost for Phase 1 MVP
Experience with messaging systems and high-volume platforms
I am looking for someone who can start with MVP quickly, and then scale into the full system, ensuring performance, reliability, and future growth.
