Build an Online Store

Current Website Our current website, [login to view URL] is several years old and does not serve us well anymore. It is run through OpenCart, and the design is outdated, and while it does have a mobile responsive design it too is outdated. Our navigation is clunky, not at all intuitive, and has duplicate categories. Not only do our customers have issues finding products and info on the website, our own employees have a hard time. Overall, it lacks a clear path for our visitors to follow to find what they want and buy our products. On the back-end of our website we lack a competent CMS system to track inventory, orders, and customers, as well as accounting integration. New Website Objectives Better search engine optimization, user friendly site & well organized content, call to actions implemented (IE “Buy Now” instead of “Add to Cart”) Allow customers access to track their orders, handle warranty & returns easily. Currently our system is supposed to send out tracking information via an email but it does not always work Better CMS (content management system) & Better back-end management systems for our employees New Website Functionality Requirements We have decided to use Magento as our Ecommerce platform. Our new website will need: Back End We will have these extensions installed by the extension developer. Here is the full List of Magento extensions we are currently looking at, but I have gone into detail below and linked to the ones we are having installed immediately. [login to view URL] Below I have included the Row # that includes the link to the extension An easy-to-use content management system (CMS) Ordering POS System: (Row 4) One Page Checkout: (Row 5) Billing & Invoicing: (Row 6) Integration with Ebay through M2E extension which is already installed. Need to add our current Ebay product template can be imported. Wholesale bulk/fast order: (Row 17) Sales person tracking extension: (Row 18) Login integration with our Help desk through Kayako (Row 69) Accounting management: Ability to track unpaid orders easily, and notify customers Track orders from distributors and easily apply early payment discount as needed. Front End Clean, responsive design with Intuitive navigation Possible themes: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Websites similar to our business with designs we like Most similar to our own company: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Categories & product pages optimized with SEO Social media integration (share buttons, follow buttons, etc.) Ecommerce Details +We currently sell about 800 different products on our online store, but we also sell products through Ebay Auctions & Buy it Now, and have recently expanded a small product line to Amazon. +We would like the ability to filter these products by their categories as well as applications such as Automotive, Off Road, and Marine. One area I am concerned with is that products would be in a few categories so we don’t want them to show up as duplicate content. +Payment types taken: major credit cards, PayPal, invoiced/billed/credit terms What we need: 1. Once we have our extension developer install the extensions we need we need someone to ensure that everything is working properly and together. 2. After extensions are installed we will someone need to set up & install the theme we choose. 3. You need to be very familiar with Magento. I have included a more detailed file in the attachements.
