En curso Pagado a la entrega

I'm willing to pay $130-$200 for this work. It must be done in 18 days or less. My client has an oscmax template he bought and a look he wants (and has had made for the homepage), but this is not the final design. The design will need to be changed to whatever he wants. The oscmax templates was just bought to save time for you all in programming.

There is some flash work that will be needed to be done.

Scope of work: e-commerce site which has been designed with a custom

shopping cart and is mostly completed, needs to be finalized in order to be 100%

operational.

Work includes: minimal additional coding, corrections to some existing

coding, minor cosmetic design changes, and some adjustments to

functionality, increasing loading speed, assuring 100% security, adding

gateways to shopping cart (QuickBooks compatibility required), and

adjustments to allow for mobile accessibility to site.

Here are some more issues regarding Flash. Search engines don't like Flash either. Their spiders can't read anything contained in the animation. When they come to index the website they are looking for text, not graphics. If the first thing they run into is a Flash intro screen then the spiders will almost always immediately leave the site and go elsewhere looking for what they do like. If we will go with Flash we are going to need your help so the spiders could see round it.

Some important items which we want to be certain our site has. "White-Space" in general, white-space is the cornerstone of good website design. Keeping the background areas where our information or products will be displayed white or another light / pale color. Dark or oddly colored backgrounds distract visitors from the information and also can make it difficult to read. Background images are also sometimes a big don't for the same reasons plus they can make pages load more slowly. Colored text can be used, but only sparingly. Contrast is key; otherwise it can be become very difficult to read. Try to use colored text only to emphasize important information.

We also want the name of our website, domain name, or business name to be prominently featured somewhere at or near the top of our pages either within our logo or near it. And it should fit within the typical boundaries of the page. If you will make it too big or it contains too many words then it will stretch our pages so wide that most visitors won't be able to see the whole page unless they scroll sideways. Very annoying; and definitely not good website design.

We also want you to automatically include a second set of navigational links at the bottom of all our pages. Regardless of where you choose to put them try to keep the text on the buttons or in the links as short as possible. Anything longer than one or two words may cause that part of our layout to be too wide and crowd our content area.

We would also like to make sure that you use a percentage option when setting our site page width setting. The percentage options allow the site to automatically expand or contract to fill the computer screen up to a specific percentage of the screen width. (see [url removed, login to view])

Using percentages as the site width setting will make it easier for our site to look its best on as many different computers as possible. However, there is still the potential for problems. You should still check our site in various screen resolutions after each time you add new pages or content to make sure nothing is overriding the percentage option you set. For example, if we put a very large image on a page that prevents the page from contracting for smaller resolutions then visitor's browser won't be able to accommodate the percentage setting the site is telling it to use. Images and other graphics cannot automatically resize themselves on the fly based on the visitor's computer resolution. Site page boundaries can expand and contract based on the percentage width setting, but only if the images and other graphical content give it enough room do to so.

And below our important points regarding the e-commerce part of our site which we want to share with you before you begin working on the product.

Providing enough information about the product; including prices and shipping costs, before the checkout process i.e. disclosing the price at the start as price, is a major issue when considering a purchase. E-commerce shoppers are possibly using our site to save time. So they will appreciate having the price disclosed sooner than later. This helps them finalize the purchase quickly.

We do not want to not ask customers to fill forms at checkout, asking customers to fill registration forms when they are placing their order is bad strategy. The process of filling the form can disengage customers from completing the transaction and you lose a sale. We need to use a creative way to do this see our three checkout options. Maybe you can improve on this or come up with a better idea. (Our One Page Checkout Idea)

Another important objective is making the website interactive. Giving shoppers the option; to participate in online quizzes and polls. Asking for feedback on products we think is another good way of involving customers as well as improving our services. To be able to insure a good customer experience we should evaluate the experience of real live customers shopping on our Web site, capturing the customers' behavior and feedback along the way. Armed with these customer insights, we can put our efforts into improving what matters most.

We feel aesthetics must balance utility, colorful visuals, multimedia and flashy fonts will make our website look attractive. But the look needs to be elegant and not cluttered. We would like for you to give us your design input to balance aesthetics and user-friendly features.

An additional feature which we consider of utmost importance is fast loading pages, effective search features, and an intuitive site hierarchy; enable shoppers to complete their purchases efficiently and happily. The website should load quickly. A website that takes ages to load not only loses customers, but also reflects badly on the quality of its products and services. Customers should be able to access the item they want quickly, or they will probably look for another site/vendor.

Brief Overview Of Requirements

Designed Website to generally replicate [url removed, login to view] zazz.co.au. catchoftheday.com.au. as to content only

The store will sell one item weekly and one or more additional items of less importance but also limited quantities and thus we will need the ability to pre-program set pictures, description, and price of each item on a regular basis so that the item will change at the exact time desired. We would also need to have a preview of this to see how it will look on the site live. We also need to clearly link this to a web merchant, and will thus need a shopping cart style design that accepts credit cards as well as pay pal. Stats will be required, including when product is gone, (see woot for reference) it will display certain stats, and also prompt the user to purchase one of the additional items, which can also be purchased before product is gone.

Designer should be familiar with online store design. Standard E Commerce Solution highlighting a DEAL of the Day type of product with limited quantity and time frame.

Website will be a complete eCommerce System which will target to Selling virtual and physical products.

CSS based design and strong Web Standard Support such as use of strict XHTML 1.1, Web 2.0, etc.

Testing & Deployment

Test Planning

Functional & System Testing / Fixing

UAT Fixing

Final Deployment

We need to develop a new website (not one that's adopted from a standard template used for various sites and purposes,) with very professional & aesthetic design.

We need experience in PHP/MySQL, ASP, .NET, JSP, Perl , AJAX etc.

We also need experience in developing e-commerce websites, intranet and experts in CMS like payment integration ([url removed, login to view], Varisign, Paypal, Ikobo, 2CO, Protx etc.), XML data feeding etc.

The site needs to be secure & work fast, speed in loading and utilization is essential

It also needs to be protecting our data from visitors; where visitors can only see the products in GUI.

All transaction need be done at Business and Service layers which will be hidden from the visitors.

The site should be using secure PHP framework (not everything on same script).

It has to be W3C compliant HTML, CSS or similar and JavaScript for coding and highly optimized pictures, graphics and Flash animation for frontend.

All codes should be validated. We prefer hard code for all pages so we should get a fast loading page, error free and cross browser optimized (website working on all browsers). Also we will need support for any bugs for next six months.

We are also preferably looking for an ISO 9001:2000 certified Web Designing, Development & Internet Marketing Company.

Also check out [url removed, login to view] as to their approach for when an item is almost sold out; the button becomes like bitten up and beneath you see the Skeletal bones of the fish. We need a similar concept but of course more original not copied and slightly changed; that when the inventory of the product gets reduced the button (or whatever we will be using, possibly some kind of fish) “catch me”! should work (flash, animation etc.) in a fashion where it reflects the product reduction as it sells out.

If a Marquee box will fit with your conceptual design we would like to include it. (Check [url removed, login to view] for Marquee similarity)

Page should ask him

Are You A Member Please Sign In

And it should take him to My Account Page

New Member Signup/Create Account

When visitor hits on the above it should open Signup page as explained before.

Write Us = Creative idea (see 3 sites for basic concept – [url removed, login to view] [url removed, login to view] [url removed, login to view])

What's the catch = Follow woot as guide for design.

The following is our concept; use your imagination to find a better structure

Catch Me: (equivalent to buy it)

Should open a page like (equivalent to buy it!)

[url removed, login to view]

You should have 3 buttons on bottom of page

Button # 1 Catch It – Existing Member – EZCatch

So if visitor is signed in then he just clicks Catch it where he will be directed to next page where page will display all member info and ask visitor to confirm or change

And if visitor is not signed in then on same page there should be the Username and password boxes where visitor can enter them and then be directed to, as above

Button # 2 Catch It - Non Member – Want To Become A Member – Make It An EZCatch

Page redirects to “My Account” Signup page which asks visitor all info and then when visitor completes My Account Signup Page it will redirect to next page which will display all member info and ask visitor to confirm or change

Button # 3 Catch It – Non Member - Guest – Don't Want To Create Account – Vanilla Catch

Page redirects to a one sheet page which will ask visitor minimal information like Credit Card info and shipping info and buyer info. And when he enters all information page redirect to next page which will display all info and ask visitor to confirm or change.

When he hits on next page confirm it will give visitor a confirmation number and receipt also it should email receipt to visitors email address.

On the last catch when visitor buys without signing in just as guest – it should come up after he completes transactions and he gets confirmation a line which explains the benefits of signing in. and a link to signup.

If a member signs up he should be getting at sign up 25 points and at each buy the member will earn points. Please put it in at the checkout catch it page.

Make sure computer keeps record how many points each member has at sign out catch it, it should be displayed member points before this transaction, and after this transaction.

Admin Section:

Entire web site should be available to be modified, changed or removed from the admin section. As well as the information and advertisement – meaning the wording and the heading should be able to be changed from the admin section, the product name and the entire information box or square.

We would like also to be able to add a box or a marquee or a wording, so in order to do this I like it should be something like this:

Add new:

Size:

Text:

HTML Link: Check box

IF answered yes then it should open a text box where to enter link

Picture: Browse…

Link

Meaning that all side information should be able to be turned on or off from the admin console and it should be able to be modified to any size or text or html links.

Just the past catch should be automatically updated when past item is finished or time has come to the end. And also this box should be able to be controlled from admin console

We also need a option in the admin section to add or remove the information, for instance if we want to close the side catch we should have a checkbox to turn it off, and it wouldn't show up on the site and vice versa if we want to add a box we should have the option to add another box what ever size we want and whatever content we wish to insert.
