Project Description:
This is a completely new website. We have already reserved several domain names for this project but we do not currently have a logo or graphic design for the site so this will also need to be done.
Key points on the funcitionality of the site we want to create are:
- The website needs to be easy for the customer to use and easy for us as the administrator to update, add products and maintain;
- The navigation needs to be simple ( intuative / logical);
- The site needs to be high impact, engaging, modern, up to date and have a fun element that will appeal to children and adults (possible a graphical animation);
- need to ensure site functionality can cater for ipad, iphone, smart phone user etc;
- secure site for online payment, receipt provision etc;
- loading and updating of product listed on multiple pages needs to be able to be done across the site through one simple change, not multiple changes;
- search engine optimised - google, bing, etc
- recording / tally system that will enable a portion of purchases to be apportioned on a school by school basis and a running total displayed for each school to create an element of competition between schools;
- maximum flexibilty with product ordering from a school list - for example to be able to nominate that the person wants all items on the list for a particular school and year level or alternatively just select specific items they may require from the list of products;
- ability to save order and return to complete order if necessary;
- ability to do multiple orders for multiple students (kids) or order other specific items from the online store before needing to provide payment;
- ability to capture customer and student information and all relevant contact details;
- need to have links to facebook etc
- we want provision to order from specific booklists and also the ability for customers (not necessarily school clients but business or home office clients) to shop for other items from a central online store. One of the existing sites we like as a good example is www.schoolstuff.com.au
We would like to work with someone who can bring more ideas on the sites development than what we have provided here. We envisage that this site will cater for a large regional centre with approx 20 schools. We want a site that will enable us to capture as much of the local market as possible. We need something that will give this site a point of difference.
