Designer wanted – UK or US

Hi,

Please could you help me? I’m looking for a WordPress developer for two projects I have on.

So, what’s this all about?
I’m a Digital Project Manager in the UK (London based), I have a client in the US (Virginia), who’s looking for a simple site and wants to own the final theme (first project).

First project
The first is very basic – I want a theme similar to this – following the spec below
http://www.risingstarsawards.co.uk/
I believe this is customised from a Brian Gardner theme, but I’m unsure which one.

The second project is more complex, but the question is simple
Is WordPress powerful enough to build a basic jobs board on? I’ve seen that Brian Gardner has created a basic Real Estate theme, so it must be possible to produce a jobs board. Is it?
This is a site I worked on a few years ago, and I like the design/template – could it be copied using WordPress?

– What would it cost to build a simple little jobs board using WordPress?
– Jobs can either be posted via the CMS or via a posting tool like BroadBean, which ever is easier.

Please let me know what you think or if you could point me to someone who could help me?
