We need to develop an online store for selling art prints, picture and photo frames and other custom framing services. The finished site will basically have this kind of functionality. [login to view URL] This particular site was based on a content management system owned by the same company that built and operates the gallery. It is called [login to view URL] In our case, we would obviously need similar content management functionality but it would either be custom or based on another content management system but not on metaverse. As a bidder, you are welcome to reccomend either system. To support e-commerce we would need integration with a Payment Gateway as a secure Internet bridge between merchant businesses and the credit card and electronic check payment processing networks. Most likely this would be authorize.net. We will supply graphic design for the system. You will code all the other remaining backend and front end components. Attention to detail will be critical in this project. We are not looking for something "quickly hacked together". We want a very professional and scalable system that easily allows us to add new features later. Text and other editorial would be maintained on a daily basis by non-technical marketing users so this would also all be part of the management system that is implemented.

To everyone,
Thank you for taking time to bid on our project.
We are somewhat delayed because we are evaluating a larger approach which might include quite some serious backend components. Once we decide on those modules we will update our requirements with more detail.
Thanks for being patient.
