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