Hi there I'm Damon. I am a full stack developer with an extensive background in web application development.
For this proposal, I can create a relatively light weight javascript script which polls the data via an API using a node.js web server and manages the view manipulation.
More info:
The project that has been posted leaves some of the implementation details to the imagination, but I will explain the technologies I recommend and how I would deploy them under your constraints. I encourage you to carry out a quick meeting to ensure the feature request and time/cost estimates are realistic and that the development is something you feel comfortable with for future phases.
For a project like this, I would first look at the existing work that has been carried out and any future plans. There are hints of multiple tabs, authentication and authorization which is relevant to the technologies I would recommend. At a glance, if I were building this from scratch, I would create a single page application using and MVC framework like backbone.js, with an API and authentication/authorization managed by Node.js.
Since there is quite a lot to be considered for future builds, I am happy to carry out a meeting via skype or phone call.
Hosting:
The web server suggested runs well on ubuntu linux. Alternatively can host on any os/platform using virtualization and containers (see docker/vagrant).
