Need a page built

I need a page built that is interactive, but I don't know what kind of help I am looking for. It's a simpler cousin to Dells customize your new computer page. As far as interactive pages go, it should be one of the simplest, though I assume too much for html alone to handle. Probably php or javascript, but definitely not flash (mobile support, or at least not looking terrible, is pretty important). But I don't know much about web dev, so here is what it needs:

Reading data from a config ini/xml/etc file (db shouldn't be needed) *
A vertical scrolling frame within the page, containing a fixed number of horizontal scrolling frames, one for each type of computer part
Which in turn contain a bunch of computer parts, each with a picture, text, and price, as defined by the config file, plus a radio button (even better if checkboxes can be used sometimes, for example in the case of HDs).
Below the vertical frame below is a Total, which changes on the fly based on which radio buttons are selected
Next to the total is a Done button, which generates a page with a model number created from the selected parts

*this is preferred, however defining these variables at the top of the file like rs scripts is ok too

I'll throw together a mock up in inkscapeSee mock up below, but unless I'm forgetting something that should cover it. So what kind of coder am I looking for?

You're looking for someone with HTML, CSS and JavaScript knowledge.

Would this be considered beginner, intermediate, or advanced HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?

Depends on how good you want to get it done, but I'd say somewhere in between intermediate and advanced.

I'd agree with Nielsie on this, There are easier alternatives which cost money, Look into articulate (Might have the resources you need).
If you want to learn how to do this checkout other sites (Use a RS calculator site to understand how it's built, and if your in chrome press f12 to see how it's constructed, if Firefox use a extension called firebug)

Thanks guys. It looks like I'm just going to find someone to hire. There's no way I'd figure it out in a week.

Think Kyle has experience in it you might ask him about it.
