The project comprises the creation of a professional, web catalogue for the sale of Chinese art. The site will need to display the art (mainly paintings) with the functionality to add items to a shopping cart, checkout and purchase through Paypal. The customer should also be able to run a search through the catalogue and bring up results relating to the type of art they require. The site would require a Content Management System (CMS) to manage all the products and product selection, and should ultimately provide us with a database-driven e-commerce website.
As the site will be the main point of contact for prospective customers of Chinese art, our site will naturally need to be attractive to prospective customers. This is a perfect opportunity for a top designer to use all their creativity and skill to create an outstanding site. It will also be necessary for the site to be rated highly on all the major search engines to attract interest. I would also be interested in seeing how you would be able to market the site (without any bulk mailing methods). You can see from the price that I am willing to pay for the best site possible. Price has been set at $350, but I am open to suggestions.
