Converting out site to Joomla

I'm looking for soeone to do the conversion of our site into Joomla. I'm posting the following requirements on Elance, but if anyone has any suggestions outside of that, please contact me directly.

We need to convert TollFreeNumbers.com from static pages to a CMS system to allow us to grow and maintain things better. After discussing the options with some people we have concluded that Joomla is the best way to go.

So we need someone to help convert our existing website to Joomla.

* It's very important to keep the existing navigation and search header which is already handled seperately as a header that get added with an include command which should make that relatively simple.
* We need to add a new blog (started recently on blogger) and need to add that to the home page.
* We need to add a site map (which will need to be expandable to include our search results pages which are being converted into static html links soon)
* We need to add a related links directory structure and user review system (jReviews?)
* We have a Vbulletin forum which we would like to migrate and/or update if possible.
* All of our traffic comes from search rankings which are already good but we always need to continue to improve.
* We have several dozen pages but we could only convert the main ones converted or you could do all of them. We can convert additional pages if necessary.
* We would like to add a database that we can display numeric numbers available, rather than using static pages which make updating difficult.
* No commerce or affiliate program necessary. Those already exist and don't need to be changed.
* We don't use videos no but may want to include a system to add that in the future.

I didn't specify a budget because we will consider working on an hourly basis rather than a project basis if that is easier. Please let me know what would work best.

It's also important to see some of your joomla projects. Please also let me know what interesting or unique features you included. I'd like to see your creativity.

Also anyone that submits a bid can have any "Available" toll free number for free. If you use our website to find a number that would be helpful to your business, I'll not only give it to you for free, but it will show that you understand the purpose of our site and that you took the time to go through it and will raise you to the top of the bidders.
