I'm not sure which programming language would be used to create this but this is basically what I need for my MVP:

A decent looking landing/about page. After a customer (an employer) purchases a monthly account they receive a log in. Once logged in they can input their employee names which will be saved. Then from there on they can log in at any point and add hours to every employee for each date.

This will translate into an online spread sheet which employees (who will also have a log in) can view once logged in. They will be able to mark shifts they have that they want to trade with other employees. And they will also be able to mark on the spread sheet when they want time off.

Is it realistic to think this isn't an expensive project? I'm a student and I don't have a tech co-founder.

The basic application logic of that, in my opinion, shouldn't take more than a week, and from then on it depends on how much effort you want to spend on design and polish.
