We're hoping to find an ongoing source for tweaks, modifications, and maintenance of our e-commerce site. Reliability, good communication, and ideally previous knowledge about OS Commerce is what we'e looking for.
*** Note: Vague and general responses will not be considered ***
Tasks:
Install OS Commerce with contributions (contributions as found in CRE Loaded - can install Loaded or OSC and contributions individually - please comment your preference)
Install additional contributions: Froogle feed, Yahoo feed, shopping engine feed, abandoned cart e-mailer, no search results redirect to similar products.
If you're not familiar with OSC, go to [[login to view URL]][1] and take a look at the contributions area.
Document install and changes made.
Install OS Commerce design template from [[login to view URL]][2].
Import products from Excel spreadsheet - it is a database export and includes categories, image paths, and product descriptions.
Install the whole thing on a server (we will of course provide FTP and SSH access).
We will be looking for a help on an ongoing basis... installing an RSS feed, creating formatted URL's from the .htaccess files, tweaking the code for better SEO, etc.
The install experience will be considered a test of how efficiently things get done, we're looking forward to your bid!!
** Seriously, we appreciate the time you take in responding. If you understand our project and can articulate that in your response, we will be sure to get in touch with you!
Regards,
Rene
