Custom ecommerce website required
Can be built on any closed or open source software or completely custom code; however it MUST meet our following criteria and be open to changes.
Please ensure the cost includes the flash/ graphic design of the website. The theme of the website is glow sticks and should be black background. The design needs to be great (can be image or flash based, but seo friendly), so please submit details of your previous designs where possible.
Take a look at examples here:
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
[login to view URL]
It can be written in PHP, ASP, AJAX, whatever you choose.....
Our code requirements:
1st – Most Important – If your code has the facility to create an account or to login to purchase; this MUST be removed. We do not want this feature. We do not want customers to register or create a password. It must go straight forward onto a page for the customer to enter their name and contact/ delivery details.
2 – Integration with PROTX “form” payment method
3 – Quantity pricing e.g. 1@ 99p each, 10@89p, 50@79p and so on..... This should be arranged in some form of table so that it is attractive and easy to read for customers.
4 – SEO Friendly static pages (not pages like [login to view URL], instead it should be something like /page/[login to view URL])
5 – Must be able to have product options on colour, to select “red, green, yellow, pink” or sizes “small medium large” etc.
6 – Shipping must be weight based and also allow more than one shipping options, eg. 2day, next day, weekend delivery etc.
7 – Custom pages giving company details, about us, questions, delivery questions and more...
8 – The ability to integrate with a major affiliate company at a later date (preferable but not important)
9 – Give the customer the ability to track their order with order number and email address
10 - IMAGES - The ability to zoom and offer 3Dimensional images, also multiple images per product would be great - *this is not essential - please do not include this in the bid price, provide a separate quote*
11 - ADD ONS - we require a variety of add ons; Links for social bookmarking such as "Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us" and others. Tell a Friend feature. Cross Selling at various stages (on product pages, at checkout)
12 - The ability to produce a PACKAGING SLIP for the parcels that can be printed off. An example has been attatched to this project. (The file is called order [login to view URL])
13 - CURRENCIES - The ability for multiple currencies that run off the main currency which is GBP British Pounds. It will be Dollars and Euros, and WE will set the exchange rates from the admin panel.
14 - As a separate item, at a later time we may wish to integrate with a postcode finder, called Postcode Anywhere ([login to view URL]) so that customers can search their postcode so they do not have to manually enter their shipping or billing address details. *This is not essential - please do not include it with the quote, provide a separate price instead*
Please could you let us know what base you will develop the website on, eg open source, closed source or completely custom? If it is open or closed source, give the name eg OsCommerce.
The website should be CSS and XHTML Compliant and Web 2.0 if possible.
The system should be run from a back end admin panel to control the store front. We are familliar with Dreamweaver should we need to manually make changes to the template to add products etc.
You, the designer/ developer, must be available to maintain the website for the first few months in case of any fault. We would like to be able to have a long term business relationship.
You will need to be able to construct it on your servers then move it onto our hosting for us. We have Linux based hosting with MySql database. It is an Apache server.
We understand this could be a complex job, so payment will be made in stages, once the stages are complete.
This project is open for 28 days only to gold users with past history of building e-commerce projects. The project may be ended sooner depending on the bids we receive.
