    Specification for Mobile version of ChessBaron.co.uk

    Overview
    ===========================
    • I have a visual design for this mobile site (to be disclosed to successful developer).
    • Create a version of chessbaron.co.uk for easy use on mobile devices such as cell-phones. The main site is hand-coded, and ISNT using WP or any other system. It doesn’t have a CMS. Sales don’t have to be communicated to an orders system.
    • Install the software into chessbaron.co.uk on an appropriate mobile subdomain and have the mobile version fully working and able to have purchases completed.
    • Create stripped down pages with easy to view images. All pages specified below.
    • The site is currently integrated into SagePay and Google Checkout. But you can integrate the mobile version just into Paypal, who have made their payment process easy for mobiles.

    The look and feel of the site needs to branded like the front page (as per the visual design to be disclosed to successful developer) to but obviously with far less detail. This specification doesn’t detail every aspect of the mobile pages – some will have to be defined as we go and may have change requests as we test the pages with mobile devices.

    • Home Page: stripped down with title, main banner picture (changed to look right, not just a small version of the current one), menu, small text introduction, category pictures.
    • About Us: stripped down version of current one
    • Terms & Conditions: stripped down version of current one
    • Contact Us: stripped down version of current one, make sure address, email and telephone number are clear.
    • Site Map: List of pages on mobile site – mainly for search engines

    All Product Pages:
    NOTE: The product pages must be dynamically generated from the DB as the site currently does. You’ll have access to the code for this. There’s only one main table for products.
    List products as currently done on chessbaron.co.uk. Each product should be limited to 200 characters of text description, with a clear ‘More…’ link for the full description on it’s individual page. No sidebar. No click to show popup as current. Other images to be shown on individual product pages. Show link for more pictures which goes to a page which shows the individual product, with other pictures for that product listed underneath the description and Add-to-Cart button with board, case, adaptor options.

    Each individual product page should have:
    1. The options that we currently have in the site (Board, Adaptor, Case, etc.)
    2. An ‘Add-to-Cart’ button
    3. A ‘View Cart’ Button
    4. All available pictures for that product pre-loaded after page initially loads
    5. Navigation to move back up the to the top or the bottom of that page


    Checkout and Payment Pages:
    Easy to view and write, easy to progress through, just as it currently is. No address fields are necessary if we’re just using PayPal as the payment processor. But we do need an email address and a telephone number, although these are not mandatory for the customer.

    Hi
    I am a Web Developer and Mobile Application Developer

    You can convert your website to view in different mobile resolution by converting html to Responsive Layout ( using HTML5 / CSS3 )

    You dont need to change any codding or compromise any feature of your website.

    Its just what you need to show in mobile correctly and visibly fine.

    Checkout my recent work if you like.
    Sending you PM.

    phpworks is right. You just need to adjust the viewport for each mobile device. Contact me and I can do it for you.

    Hi

    According to your detail If you want to develop a wordpress based website and install in separate mobile domain.
    There is few thing to take in concede-ration before come to any decision of separate DB and CMS.

    Things to keep in bind:

    1. You need to insert products and pages again to new CMS.
    2. You are allowing user to purchase same product from different website. You need to view 2 different website admin to see list of product sold, new update on product ( Image update or price or description update )
    3. And finally you need to manage 2 different Admin for same set of products.

    Please check more detail in your PM...
