HTML template to Drupal 7 (and a little more)

We have a static HTML template that we would like converted to Drupal 7. Its an online sports magazine with 6 article sections. The centerpiece of the homepage is the 'special features' area at the top, which will rotate 4-5 news stories as we release them, along with a photo and excerpt, etc. (ie [login to view URL] is a good example). We're looking for an HTML/Drupal expert who can 1. Create or use an existing rotating news story module, 2. tidy up out patchwork HTML (there maybe some bugs) and then 3. convert to Drupal 7. The expert should also be able to provide us with instructions on managing/adding new content, photos, video, new modules, etc. as we grow. After completion, we'll probably need a little support now and then from the expert, who will be compenstated.
