Experienced osCommerce providers only. This is a complete refresh of a online store, that is by necessity separated into two separate sections:
Primary site: Accessories (osCommerce) Approximately 1,200 parts
Sub-site: OEM Parts (Platform operated presently by an outside vendor) Approximately 250,000 parts
NOTE: QUALIFIED BIDDERS WILL RECEIVE THE CURRENT URL.
Unfortunately both sections of the site (accessories and OEM) have different check-out and shopping carts. That will be addressed in Phase II. Currently the project is to refresh the Primary site and provide code and templates to the outside vendor so that their portion of the site matches the rest. This project involves developing those templates for the OEM portion of the site in addition to the refresh of the Primary site.
The intention is to create a clean Web 2.0 look graphically; using gradients, lighting effects, etc., to make the existing site more secure, optimized for inbound search (Google, Bing, etc.), and with enhanced internal search functionality (search by year, make, model, part number, keyword, etc.)
Site must be cross-browser compliant and contain no Flash. Site must be SEO optimized. You are working as our sub-contractor, buyer shall own all work product outright, and it may not be used or referenced in your portfolio at any time. You work with the ScriptLance buyer only and have no contact with end-client or it's vendors.
Milestone payments only: 25% upon acceptance of layout and design of site to include finished site graphics, 25% upon population of product and product images images organized in proper categories and sub-categories, and integration of required search functionality, 25% upon client acceptance of site operation and functionality, 25% upon completion of final revisions.
Provisions to terminate: If you have not delivered acceptable work product within the agreed upon timeline, buyer reserves the right to terminate project without obligation and assign to another contractor.
We recognize that osCommerce is not the optimal platform for this site. This is Phase I of a complete overhaul recognizing the end-user has knowledge of osCommerce and does not want to convert hastily. Understanding this, do not recommend we change platforms at this time.
