Description:



Netfirms Web Hosting for Small Business

We need a site built from scratch that will support the launch of a new product.
The project includes site design and front and back-end development necessary
to complete a site that is ready to release to market.
Besides the public web interface, the site will also require admin functionality
that includes simple content management features. The content of the site must
be modifiable by someone who is not a web/html expert. (i.e. all content needs
to be in a database and when in admin mode, the admin can easily alter the
content by clicking on the content they want to change, preview the changes, and
push live to production).
Overall the site needs to have the following sections:
* Home page (may include snippets of Testimonials, Blogs, etc)
* ~6 pages detailing different use cases / versions for the product
* Contact us
* About us
* Testimontials
* Blog
* Community Forum
* Support
* Product Specifications
* Product Directions
* FAQ
* News/Media
* Buy it page. Our initial site will not have an actual e-commerce engine. We
will be using a partner’s e-commerce functionality but will need a Buy it jump
page that has a list of name, product description, picture, price, link to
partner e-commerce add-to-cart page, and productid of partner web site. This
software should be designed so that multiple partner e-commerce sites could be
linked to to buy the product. [In the future, we may want to offer a full
e-commerce shopping cart & checkout with our own merchant account plus
PayPal plus GoogleCheckout. Please advise on the extra fees if we included that
capability.]
Site design:
The project will include the bidder producing an acceptable site design. This
is a consumer technology product and must be a clean, easy-to-use design that is
eye-catching and leverages Flash or DHTML technology where appropriate.
Examples of sites that we found that have a similar look-and-feel to what we
want are: www.apple.com/iphone (we like their design but ours will be somewhat
less complicated), www.iriver.com (home page & Clix product),
www.drivemocion.com, www.samsung.com. Use of Flash/DHTML should not be overdone
(i.e. we are OK if only part of the page is in Flash).
Back-End Technology:
We expect an ASP.NET (C#) solution and further prefer a system based on an ORM
data access layer. (Our favorite ORM is LLBLGen Pro 2.5 but we realize that
your solution may use a different ORM or may leverage open-source or proprietary
code for Blogs, Content Management, and Forum, etc. We are open to using
either open source or commercial software as part of our solution. However,
please be explicit about what software packages we would be required to purchase
for your bid.
Please do not send us “you should do this in PHP” bid responses. For better or
worse, we have a .NET team (although we can run under Linux/Mono). We do prefer
to use MySQL for the DB layer. [We use MySQL with LLBLGen with other projects
and are very happy with the performance (and price point) of the MySQL Db.]

Hosting:
We have a present hosting provider and are pretty happy but are open to you or
your partner hosting the site as well. Please specify whether you would have us
host the system or outsource it.
We need to complete the project within 25 days of bid acceptance.
We have reasonably detailed requirement specifications and will provide those
under NDA to top bidders. Be sure your bid includes enough resources and design
cycles to complete a project of this scope.
We suggest the following process for bidding:
1) Please place an initial bid based on the above specification. Also, with
your initial bid, please provide examples of other C# projects of similar scale.
We would also request information on the team size and skill levels you will
devote to this project, confirmation that the resources are immediately
available, and details of how and when your team is available to coordinate
project management and tech review sessions.
2) Based on your initial bid, we will narrow the field of bidders. Then we will
provide NDAs, and provide a second round of information and specifications after
signing the NDA. After each finalist reviews the more detailed specifications,
you may update or reaffirm your bid. Then we will make a final decision.

3) Payment terms are flexible. We are happy to put funds for the whole project
in escrow, but will expect that most of the payment will be released upon
project completion. Please include your payment expectations with your bid.

This project is being run by several entrepreneurs with many other software
development opportunities. We desire to find a partner that demonstrates
success with this project and wants to grow the relationship into other
immediate project opportunities for this company and for other firms controlled
by the principals.
Thank you.
