Hi I need an e-commerce site buit for a clothing company but it has to have the following sort of functionality:
Front-end Design:
1) Professional, attractive and appealing front-end design. Unlimited text and photos (up to 75 pages).
2) Customer-made graphics (icons, buttons, bullets, etc). User-friendly navigation and clear page layout.
3) Optimization of all the images to reduce the load-rate on a dial-up connection.
Back-end Functionality:
1) PHP4 programming with relational MySQL database, database driven HTML templates; operational system - Linux.
2) Content Management System (CMS) allows you to manage your site on a regular basis. You will be able to edit/delete/add sections and subsections and any website content including text and images. It is very simple in use and doesn’t require any programming skills.
3) Shopping cart.
4) Add Multiple Products Function (a client can add a number of products to their shopping cart).
5) Credit Card Processing – automated and real-time credit card transactions. The Credit Card Facility is to be purchased by the Client.
6) SSL (secure socket layer) for secure order processing. The SSL certificate is to be purchased by the Client.
7) Members Area Programming. Members’ area which allows only certain users to login and gain access to secure/protected information.
8) Order Tracking System enables your customers to view details and status of their orders.
9) Inventory Tracking Feature will let you track the amount of stock you have on hand, notify you of low-stock and prevent your customers from ordering products that are out-of-stock.
10) UPS Tracking lets your customers check up-to-the-minute shipping status reports using your own reference or order number.
11) Discount Manager Module provides a table of discounts.
12) Automatic shipping and handling charges.
13) "Compare products" option.
14) Product Search Capabilities (quick and advanced search within the website, database of products, etc.).
15) Gift Certificate.
16) Gift Ideas and Wish List Development.
Also hosting if available. It is for a high-end shirt company and so needs to have a good look and feel to the design.
Let me know as soon as possible as we need to get this project on the way.
