Video Streaming, Link-Tree, Full Website Development.

Requirements: First of all, the team that I decide will have first for lots of other projects (or skins of the original) that we could partner together and build if the original development goes well! There is a lot of potential for after/development work. Full Website from scratch. Full user login/signups with profiles. User Messaging System. Ability to upload videos in a tree-map fashion. (Each branch assigned to an integrated video.) User must be able to build this tree-map from scratch, and customize the tree-map on an ongoing basis. Links must be populated underneath the video. Ability to upload files. Allow users to dynamically create, replace, update, and destroy pages of their own profile. User Interface and Graphic design skills. HTML 5 or Flash acceptable, with portfolio of experience. Ability to integrate videos from other hosting sites. Tags given (or self-typed) to users that they can be searched and sorted upon. Ability to sort by type and location. Email support service between users. Map of America that can be clicked to find users from that specific area. Different CMS services will be considered. Joomla is favored by myself due to familiarity, however I am a quick learner and don’t mind using others. Provide Logo List of tags people can sort by. Questions I need answered before going forward: First of all, what language are you most comfortable developing in? Knowing that this site must be able to scale in large proportions, please keep this in mind when choosing a development language. Do you prefer HTML5 or Java? Being mobile friendly with HTML5 would be nice, but if Java is the skillset you develop best in… I don’t mind being Java exclusive. I used to do web development, but was never good enough to build a site of this scale, functionality, and style. That being said, I have a good understanding of the languages used for web development. This project needs to give users the ability to create a profile, and then create multiple subsequent pages that link underneath. This is the "tree" aspect that I was talking about in the description. How would you plan to go about creating this tree-link structure? Note: The user needs to be able to create, replace, update, and delete pages at any time. This tree could also grow quite complex. Each page will also have a video that will auto-stream when the page loads. The reasoning will make more sense to you if the project is awarded to you. What CMS would you choose and why? I am most familiar with Joomla, but am in no means tied to it. Keeping in mind that the website may gain a large user-base, what kind of database would you use to store and read this information? I currently intend on using [login to view URL] as my video repository. They will be going public with an API in January. The development team must be willing to develop using this API to allow users to upload videos through this method. If there is another video hosting site that provides good rates, please let me know. Thanks! I will be able to go further into detail about the project, its purpose, and the target audience after the bid is awarded.
