Project Detail

Description

I need a website for our company to offer online print services and ordering
I have looked at many sites that I like and here are a few of my favorites

http://www.bargainprinting.com/
http://www.printplace.com/
http://www.psprint.com/
http://www.hotcards.com/
http://www.123print.com/
http://www.pritingforless.com/

I am not looking so much at the home page but more at the ease of the user to order and select pricing and have it updated instantly and in one single page. I guess this is done with AJAX or something similar.

The web site has to have a commerce module (OsCommerce, ZenCart, or something similar)

Business cards, brochures, flyers, catalogs, envelopes, etc will be my products, I am open to received any ideas, also open to any database, language, scripts, open source solutions, etc

I will eventually like to add the option of using online design of business cards and signs using flash. This will be in the future. Like in the following examples:

http://www.printsmadeeasy.com/ (in the Business card design)
http://www.buildasign.com/PowerDesign.aspx

I have a graphic designer in-house that will supply you all the graphics you require and we will also supply you the pricing for the products to enter into the database. Also attention to design will be considered for SEO.

To make my selection of designer I will need from you your experience developing an e-commerce solution with sample working sites, I will ask for references. Also, I will be open to ideas and suggestions to make this project successful. If a template is required to be purchased to make this website modern and attractive I will do so (I want this project to be a partnership between you and us and something you will be proud to put in your portfolio.

In your bid give me a cost for initial design and development of the site and detail what you will offer, and then indicate what maintenance cost you will charge for the future. Experience related to printing sites will be considered very highly.

Thanks.
