Need a programming feature on my WP site

I am building a website for a client that is a local business directory / coupon site. The guy has been in business for 20 years selling those plastic fundraising cards that high school kids sell. Since he has great relationships with businesses all over town, he's creating a coupon website that has better deals than anyone else. You can then redeem them using a plastic card, via your mobile phone, or printing out the coupon.

I've built the site on Wordpress and have everything working and looking good. But here's what I can't do:

I need for the pages to populate a dynamic expiration date based on the day you signed up. So, for example, there's a coupon on there for Papa Johns. If i signed up for the site today (which costs $10), my expiration date would show 1 year from today: 9-24-14. If you signed up tomorrow, you'd see the same Papa Johns coupon but your expiration date would be 9-25-14.

Also, we're trying to implement a plastic card that you receive when you sign up that has some sort of serial number on it - and that serial number would be the same that you'd use to sign up for the site and activate your 1 year membership.

I'm sure my first step is a membership plugin like magic members or something. But i'm not sure where to go from there, or how to populate those expiration dates.

Would love to have you point me in the right direction, or have you give me a quote to hire you to add this in for us. I thought there was a warriors for hire section but i couldnt find it. So i hope this is in the right place.

If interested, please leave a comment here or PM me and i'll show you the site and we'll go from there. Thanks!

    Looks like you are too far into this to jump ship on wordpress. I am firm believer that something like this should be built on a custom platform.

    Anyways, here is the section you need: Wanted - Members Looking To Hire You

    I am sure you can find someone to make you a wordpress plugin for this there.
