A custom system that you are betting your Google rep on?
Sounds like the type of project that needs a couple hundred dollars worth of design before any coding starts.

Off the shelf software should be done right. If someone is going to offer it for sale, they should first make the R&D and testing investment. For custom systems, on the other hand, there aren't a thousand other users sharing design, R&D and testing costs, so the purchaser should be prepared to pay those. If you don't pay for design, R&D, and testing, don't expect there to be any. If you just pay for an hour of code monkey time expect to get something that hasn't been designed as a proper system and hasn't been properly unit tested.
