Website Restructuring/Redesign - Currently PHP Based

Project involves restructuring/redesigning an existing active website into a new website to replace it. Will need someone who will consult with me and share suggestions in the way of design to meet my needs. Site is primarily PHP based currently. I do not know PHP (trying to self teach, but a slow process) and I need to get this redesign done quickly. Website was designed with qlWebDS by the original owner. You are welcome to use this, but I would like to get the website off of its current hosting platform and onto my own when complete. I tried this on my own and was able to get the files moved, but the site will not open. Overall, I want the existing functionality to remain intact, but want to change the logical layout of the page and directory structure. Primary change involves removing the directory listing that occupies 70% of the main page and replacing with a four-square display of customer advertisements (image/company name/brief description) that rotates randomly on page refresh. Also need to adjust the "new listings" structure" so that it updates automatically as new sites are added. As the redesign occurs, the directory listing will be relocated to sub-pages that mirror the main page, but populate with category specific customer information and region specific advertising. I would also like to incorporate a rating system to allow registered visitors to rate the customers on service, quality, and atmosphere and then rank the customers based on their overall ratings. Will also want to add a "customer comments" section that feeds into a data table for random display with option for visitor to view all comments. Once a worker is selected, I will provide specific site information so they can review to ensure they are able to complete the job. Prefer not to parcel out the work in order to maintain specific design and logic standards.
