Hi
you really made very very clear what are you looking for and i am glad to finally run into such a detailed job description as this one. I have been working for some time for an Australian guy on his projects, but atm he is in process of moving to UK, and in the meantime i am free to find some additional work to fill my free time. I have signed NDA and two year contact with him, and will continue working at the end of May, till then, i am yours, to chat and work together.
I prefer for projects like this to propose Enfold theme, due to its excellent support, great builder and elegant responsiveness, not to mention being one of the best multipurpose themes on the market. And i know it very, very well, so all you asked for (menu, little hearts, slider...) can be easily achieved without importing any of its demo content, builder is more then powerful to achieve all of it, with some modifications to css and php of a child theme we will create for sure. I will take care of all other aspects/
Due to this long term job, my portfolio is a bit poor, but i can point you to some of my previous work. Mostly it was PSD to wordpress, and since you already have layout almost done, it will be pleasure to make almost pixel perfect replica of that design. I do not need any of templates, i can create all by myself...but maybe we will need some plugins...maybe
Feel free to ask any question you may have

Stojan Vasic, IT engineer
