I am looking for a professional design of an online vitamin/supplement store using the X-Cart Shopping cart. The X-Cart shopping cart, for the most part, uses PHP, but please speak with me if you believe that using ASP or ASPX and .NET would be better. We are looking for an X-cart expert. You MUST have excellent knowledge about - Customizing X-Cart Templates/Design (MUST) - PHP - Smarty templates - Search Engine Optimization -We are looking for Modules that you want to sell. -Need to see all your x-cart work. -Design for the website will be completely custom and must not look like a template. We have a few websites that will be submitted in the PMB that will reflect what kind of design we are looking for. -At the moment, we have roughly 3,500 products that will need to be added into this website/shopping cart. The 3,500 products are located on an excel database file, so you will not have to manually enter in each product. -Shopping Cart- -Even though Xcart has a working shopping cart, it still does not meet my needs, and must be altered. Again, I will post examples of how I want my shopping cart to look in the PMB. Please also let me know: -how the work would be project managed. -how you handle testing and bug fixing. -the experience you have in such projects. -when you would be available to start I am looking to start on this over the next week or so. -I will also be needing an API (application protocol interface) integration can will be an effective and efficient tool for linking my web-site into my Distributing order processing system as well as real time inventory numbers. More information about this will be provided later on. -Successful integration will allow all of my orders from my web-site to be sent directly to my distributors order processing system without having to be re entered anywhere or emailed over for processing. -All API's work on simple HTTPS protocol interfaces. You will have to make HTTPS post to a specified url and it will return a comma separated string. This can be a simple process for someone with technical expertise and know how.
