Greetings,
We have read Project Description & sorry to hear about your previous developer, so can you please provide us detailed requirements, some high level features/tasks or reference/similar example websites, after that we can confirm you our precise estimate. Yes Laravel framework is fine, even CodeIgniter or Zend is also fine, as our team already worked on all the frameworks.
Our current bid is just a placeholder, as we cannot submit the proposal without entering any amount but once you respond us, we can then finalize it.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
YK
