Hi, Right now, I own a website that has been around for little over a year and that has quickly grown into market leadership as a blog for a specific niche. We have added forums and they’ve quickly become a popular community. Our site needs to change though in order to keep growing. Therefor, we’re hoping to add a couple features to our popular FASHION RELATED website In stead of blog + forums, I would like to have ONE site with 5 large ‘parts’ 1. Blog (wordpress) 2. Forums (vbulletin, now using phpbb) 3. Brand/label Directory, through Admin system 4. Stores/boutiques directory, cross-linked with the brand directory 5. Shopping backend – Affiliate csv files All these different ‘parts’ would have to fit into one site, and should all have the same look, the same feel – and should be all browseable as if they were one site. The blog has no registration other than the writers, so the forum’s user database doesn’t have to work with that of the blog. The system for the brand/label and store directory can be real simple. A form to add some info, a way to add photos and a way to link stores to labels/brands. It should obviously interact with the site and forums, but that shouldn’t be a hard deal as we have datafeeds per brand available. The shop backend should be a system that can be fed with affiliate CSV datafeeds. When the feeds are uploaded through an admin panel the products get added. One thing is vital: the products have to browseable, searcheable and preferably a search form allowing for people to look for partical price intervals etc would be great. These would need the ability to get updated. This means when a new CSV for a particular merchant is added, it should change those. I have a license to http://www.jce-tech.com/affiliatemaster.php, which does most of these things, but it would probably need some editing. It’s vital that all these ‘parts’ of the website work together, and look like ONE SITE. We want 5 tabs in ONE site, not 5 sites. Preferably I am looking for a partner that can take care of the whole process. Designing, coding and finishing the project with me in a close partnership. I will need to see SERIOUS background information and resumees. I would also like to see live work you’ve done or your company has done to know I’m dealing with professionals. I am a professional and I would need an official invoice etc for tax reasons. I prefer working with a company or someone willing to do this fully legit on my side. I am based outside of the US though, so what you do on your end isn’t really important to me. Please let me know your thoughts, ideas and bids through PM. Please take some time to send me a serious reply as I really am looking for a trustworthy and talented programmer+designer for this one. Thanks!
To me it is. The affiliate system is probably a serious build, but I'm not sure. The fact that it should all work together for me is an impossible task, but if it isn't, I'm ecstatic! I'm really looking for someone with the skills and the attitude to tackle this thing and build something to take us to the next level.... If that's not as big a project as I was afraid it was that's just excellent news!
