Description
At present, all sales from the current site are executed by 'phone and/or email. We require an eCommerce facility to be added initially to sell watch accessories and eventually the watches themselves. We are open to recommendations, but WooCommerce and Stripe or PayPal account for payments are under consideration.
The site will include 13-15 different page layouts as well as individual pages for the watch details. Some pages (including the home page) will utilise creative justified image grids / scrolling mosaics and sliders.
Bids should include importing existing data from the current site, including pages with multiple photographs and detailed information about 130-150 watches.
The site is owned by a professional photographer and image led, so should be fully Retina and HD-ready to make the most of the photographs as well as fully responsive and Gutenberg compatible for certain pages.
Page designs will be provided (the majority of the page layouts will be copied from existing site) but some design skills would be a plus. A creative and enthusiastic approach to this sort of a project is an essential requirement.
I already have hosting set up for the site as well as a Cloudflare account. We would like the new site to be developed on a staging site or sub-domain, so that the existing site can stay live during development. When the new site is ready and approved, we would expect the successful applicant to switch the new site onto the main domain and ensure that the process of going live happens smoothly.
Load speed and easy admin workflow (uploading of new watches and accessories) is a priority. We have experience of design for this type of website but fresh ideas are welcome.
As we recognise the degree of collaboration required for this project, excellent communication skills are extremely important, so we are only considering applications from native English speakers who are quick to respond to requests for fixes, changes, updates etc. UK-based developer preferred. Flexibility on working hours (including weekends) would be an advantage.
Ideally, we would like to build a long-term relationship with the successful applicant for maintaining the site and working on other sites which we have designed and developed for high-end art fairs in the UK and US.
My preferred method for day-to-day management of the project is Trello, which I often couple with Slack if required. So a working knowledge of these platforms would be useful.
Please provide details of qualifications and relevant experience with your application together with examples of similar or relevant work and references/testimonials from clients. Your application should include reasons why you feel that you are suitable for this project. Should we feel that you are a good fit, we would invite you to a brief interview on Zoom or Google Meet prior to engagement.
As the project has already been green lit, and most of the content is ready for import from the existing site, we would hope to complete development within 8-10 weeks of engagement.
Do let me know if you have specific questions.

Hello!
Thanks for the invite.
Can you at least answer the questions below? Why should we waste our bid when you cannot even reply to questions?
Good luck!

Hi Will
Sorry, but I didn't quite get you when you said it's not suitable for page builders, as it has custom fields, etc. Page builders are solely created to build custom designs. -
Hi Will,
Please can you share the design files with me so I can review the templates first before sending the proposal? It would also be ideal if I could review the existing websites and product data.
Regards,

Do you have a project spec. document? -
Hi WIll,
Sounds like a great project, do you have designs ready to share? Also is there a current URL so I can review the products to assess how much work is required.
Thankyou
Scott
