bootstrap/php/laravel general questions --looking for place to ask, or for mentor

Hi.

Looking into php/laravel with bootstrap theme as a test. I've got a bunch
of questions and haven't found sites that walk through the process from
start to end. Sites appear to make assumptions, and going from different
sites to figure things out is the "rabbit" hole. So. I'm looking for some
place/person I can discuss/talk to.

thanks

-and yes, for the right solution, fee can be discussed if reasonable.

thanks again
