Build a Reverse Auction Website -- 2

PLEASE READ THE SPECIFICATIONS IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT CAREFULLY. TAKE YOUR TIME BEFORE SUBMITTING A QUOTE. I WILL NOT BE DECIDING BEFORE NEXT WEEK. The final set of specs will simply include a bit more explanatory info, not more features / requests, just more info compared to the ones attached. TIME is not the most important factor to be taken under consideration, so please provide realistic timeframe. At the current stage, the 2 important factors are primarily Cost and Quality, so we can aim at using READILY MADE features / plug-ins, even from 3rd PARTY PROVIDERS (hence updates will be easily implemented), and you can put them together . Note that, if I am asking for a feature with 7 functionalities and there is a ready-made module / plug-in which we could get for free or pay a reasonable one-off fee and then only copy-paste but only offers 5 of those functionalities, please let me know and I could compromise so as to use the ready-made plug-in and leave those 2 extra functionalities for now (provided they are not part of the website's main functionalities). If it would be cheaply or costly to manually add those 2 extra functionalities let me know to consider. One option would be to build it like a WP website / use other platforms (Magento or something) with readily-made modules with an easy to use Admin Panel, so put together as many of these readily made ones, thus minimizing customization. IMPORTANT: The website design should be flexible to fit and adjust to all devises and screen dimensions, no applications needed, just like wordpress (or other) templates that adjust automatically. Description: this project will be a reverse auction website, where users can buy items and/or services from vendors. • There will not be any items or services visible on the website for users to browse openly, and they will be available only upon request. • Users will be filling-in a form asking for offers based on price and description. • Vendors will be receiving the requests and will then be sending offers to the users. • Then users can decide whether to buy or not those items from our website. The layout will be very plain, nothing complex. There will be 3 types of pages (logo needs to be designed as well): 1. Homepage (similar to www. [login to view URL]) 2. User profile (standard design as with most e-commerce templates) 3. Vendor profile (standard design as with most e-commerce templates) 4. Items display (standard design as with most e-commerce templates) ...so if we use a 3rd party software like Magento these should be readily made FULL details in attachment. OUTLINED functionality in bullet points below: • Request form for user to fill in • User profile • Vendor profile • System for vendors to upload items and then once they receive offer request, to choose which items to send to users • Product page like net-a-porter • Chat for users to speak with vendors • Vouchers creation system • Payment system: Paypal • Item delivery / transportation system: 3rd party APIs • Automated emails • Newsletter • Complete admin system (e.g. footer content could be the Wordpress system and the sales to be elsewhere e.g. Magento)
