Hello,
I have read all the requirements of this project and my team can provide high quality professional results at a low cost.
Regarding your issue, your proposed solution could work but firstly we need to take a look at the code. We could use the visual builder to provide an easy way for you to update everything you need, also the issue could be related to main theme files which allow only a certain type of posts being displayed.
Our team consists of 4 programmers/designers with over 6 years experience and a vast area of expertise (XHTML, CSS, Flash, PHP,Javascript, Java, C, C++, c# / .NET , Logo design, banner design etc. ).
Have a look at FAIS Design portfolio:
