Alright. Let me run through just the tip of the iceberg as to why our skepticism.
You say you might have a dev @$80/hr with a $10k budget. That's only 125 hours. That's basically 3 standard work weeks for one guy to do even basic architecture/planning, implement the code, the database and testing.
Without even touching the basic data and table relationships when you connect records or members to other records or members I see forms. Lots and lots of forms to collect user input:
Member Type 1
-Signup form (likely shared with a filter by member type)
-Profile Form (of whatever complexity)Member Type 2
-Signup form (likely shared with a filter by member type)
-Profile Form / Edit Profile Functionality
-Product/service form for whatever they are having reviewed. You have been vague, but, Hi I'm Jane, here's my info (profile) this is my business to review (product/service form).Fiscal
-Billing forms/receipt generations (you said member 2 pays)
-Payment gateway/merchant account... maybe just PayPal
-Means to confirm payment for your system to approve member 2 statusCMS for admin user
-Sign in (likely shared with a filter by member type)
-Some sort of control panel for overview
-Here are new submissions for review
-Page or form for review/decline or editing review
-Admin profile / manage passwords etc.Customer Support/Contact
You have members and you are taking money, there will be support involved and you’ll likely want one of more forms to either collect in a database or ticket system or at minimum to force structure into the inquiries for relaying to email.This is just the basics.
