EXTRA INFO
Website design
* Need new website designed, including drafts sent through for our approval.
* Need to see designs for the index page, category listing page and also the product listing page
* Aiming for a Web2.0 design. Would to follow on from the theme of our existing website yet improving on it and making it a more simple experience for the customer
* We want all buttons and links to be mouse over
* Category menu’s will also need to be pop out on mouse over (similar to current website)
Import Products (about 500)
* Import all the fields possible including
o Name
o Description
o SKU
o Meta details
o Weight
* We do not need any attributes imported as we will go through all the products one by one to get this correct
Import Categories (about 70)
* Import all of the categories and relevant fields Including meta data
Article section and import articles
* Need some sort of article section with admin management similar to current website
* Also need the current articles imported as this is big part of our SEO plan
Emails to all customer to inform of changes
* An email will need to be sent to all of our customer around time of launch informing them that they will need to make a new account
* We do not
Old website need to be moved somewhere online still accessible for us to access backend
* Set up old oscommerce website in subdirectory still on server so we can access for a few weeks to deal with any pending order.
* Some customer fields needed in check out
* Need some way of confirming if customer will be home by having them select something from drop box box
o I will be home to sign for delivery
o The place is a business address (also gives box to enter name of business)
o If not home you have leave the items (gives box to leave location)
Have shipping modules already written so not needed to make new
* Already have 3x customer shipping modules written that we will provide you
* Need to make it so if order weight = 0 no shipping options are displayed.
* Also want a “shipping calculator” field on the product description page using the existing shipping calcs
o Eg customer enters in postcode and click “calculate” and it calculates the postage
Live Help installed (Crafty Syntax)
* Also need any elements of crafty syntax removed in the code so our competitors can’t see what live help we are using
* Need to make it looks a bit simpler and cleaner compared to default
Ability for customers to upload testimonials (and import existing ones)
* Similar feature as our existing website has
Customise emails to include logo
* Few other finishing touches like our logo in the emails would be nice
Newsletter subscription
* We will use aweber (aweber.com) as our mailing list manager.
* Replace the default newsletter box with an aweber one
* Also need a checkbox when customer signs up that if they tick it adds their email to our aweber newsletter subscribers
Custom coding
* Need some way of having some pre defined text fields that we can link to in the product descriptions.
* Eg we can link 50 products to this bit of text/code so then if we need to change the text on those 50 product listings we can do it once and change the global variable rather than changing 50 times on each individual page
