Improve sites checkout & purchase procedure - buying on the site is not a clean process, we need to improve the buying process and allow non registered users to proceed to check-out and have basket contents reminders sent. we also need email comfirmation notices to buyers 4. User Signed-in welcome and last products viewed and wish list - users remain signed in (uless signed out) 5. Users last viewed items - applied by ip address, 6. New Live chat/help feature -allows users to have live chats with admin staff through 'chat feature' ability to receive/send images 7. Create and/or improve applied Shipping charges to small/med/large items or multi buys during check-out - require better auto-apply individual shipping charges applied to product 8. Site CSS style sheet and sites code improvements 9. Sites existing auction facility fix - facility seems available but we cant see it on live site, once visable we may need improvments and added facility. 10. Site category and product listing improvements - page layout, creatives and information improvments to existing cat/sub-cat/product pages 11. New page template feature - need 3-4 page templates produced and have available through admin when creating new listings or other information pages 12. New X-product promotion feature - require products to be available/listed in multipal categories or areas within the site, but edited from one entry within admin 13. New product rating and like feature - ## Deliverables Detail: 1. Product Image a) In product view we think the product image displayed is a little too small, it need to be at least 50% bigger (not certain of the exact size need, so would like to see examples), 4 thumbs need to be added below main image in product view b) Each product may be a different size, pls ensure any viewer used takes this in to account d) in product admin we need to be able to select which image is the main image to be used. e) when site product image is enlarged by user the thumbs should be situated on the right of image f) because of detail within products, we require a zoom-in feature in both product view and when enlarged g) meta tag description and key words/tag/alt text, within product admin we would like to add these SEO features to any and all product, images alt-text and tag should be separate from product seo 2. Wish List Feature a) we would like to introduce a 'wishlist' option under each product description or image within the product page. This feeds through to the users account and records the information there under a new section 'My Wishlist', the detail recorded should be a small product image and the product ref and name. users should be able to delete from their wishlists. no limit users can add b) if the user clicks on the add to wishlist, and user is not signed in or is not a member yet, a prompt and link should appear asking them to sign in or register, i) if a positive action is taken there should be no need to go back and choose the item again, as it should populate the user wish list once signed-in. ii) if negative action, the user should have the option to have the full product details sent to them by email. therefore a name & email capture is all that will be needed, a copy of this request and information should be sent to alert admin, so we can follow up. This detail (name, email and product information) should be recorded under members section, but clearly shown as 'non-member', so admin can see all interest by non members, admin should be able to contact user from here. If user becomes a full member at any time, these entries are still retained and account information switched in to members account view. iii) user can gain access to this non-member information area by entering surname (password) and email. This information should be included in the alert product email. iv) Each entry should have a contact opt in/out newsletter/promotion radio select button and a admin contact non-member link, so admin can use it from time to time to keep user informed if they have agreed to this contact. 3. Check-out and purchase improvements b) currently a user who has not registered or signed in can select a product and add it to cart and if they try to proceed to check-out they then find they have to start the buying process over again, because currently the process won't allow users to simply proceed unless registered or signed-in. This needs to be improved, so that buyers can get to checkout before the need to complete their personal details or sign-in if an account is already held. Note: any purchase results in an account being opened and passwords should still be requested. c) the layout and feel of the shopping cart requires updating, it is rather dull at the moment e) purchase alert & confirmation emails should be sent to user and admin in the following circumstances - f) new buy now creative's i. if the user completes the purchase process but fails to checkout and pay - email should include the details or products bought and link to complete the process with payment, a reminder should also be sent in 7days if no action has been taken. ii. if purchase is complete inc payment a purchase confirmation email, detailing what has been bought is sent to both user and admin for their records. iii) users account purchase records are updated accordingly f) purchase information fed through to payment system fails to record the correct product details bought by user, this needs correcting 4. User sign-in view a) As soon as members/non-members sign in, the sign-in status needs to be displayed under the header, a 'welcome message' using the members full name 'Not email' should be shown along with a log out feature next to edit profile & order history. This confirms login to the user. The display of these is not clear and we would like you to improve how this information is seen by the user. b) Once signed in or not users should see last items viewed from previous visits on home page, i guess this is done by IP address recognition. 5. last viewed items a) IP address recognition new feature, this acts like the ebay system, where the last 2-3 items viewed are shown to the user without the need for them to be signed in. These should be displayed as image thumbs under the featured items on home page. 6. Live chat feature - pop-up a) add a live chat feature to site, including an admin area for us to add standard auto responses (standard replies under headings - welcome and assistants name/quick category & product navigation links/standard replies/end responses) i) site live chat status bar - Should display Green if help is available and red if off line ii) users need to supply name and email to log in to live chat, copy of chat should be sent to user at chat end copy of chat held as note form in members area iii) as 2 wishlist above, non-members details are still recorded and can be accessed by name and email, this information should be explained & sent to user with copy of chat 7. Shipping charges sm/med/large and multi buys 1 = small items, 2 = med items, 3 = large items, 4 = user defined b) Multi buys - we need to have a system for when user buy more than 1 item, so shipping costs are discounted accordingly. Example: user buys 3 jackets (large items) to France the calculation should be 3X items to France less a shipping discount say of 50% for 2 of the items 8. Css style sheet and general code improvements ) main sites centre column font is very small please increase it - not sure the right size but this can be discussed. b) Admin header and drop down links at hover position cause text to invisible, a new hover highlight colour is required c) In product view the d) In category & Product view on live site the product description is limited to a few characters we want more flexibility here to include the full discretion e) New product page layout (see example image) f) New sale price feature g) New/improved product information 9. Sites auction facility is not working a) although in admin the site auction or best offer facility is available and we are able to set up an auction, it fails to show on main site anywhere, this needs to be fixed b) until we see it working we can't tell if the features included are correct, there some additional feature work may be required. 10. site category and product listing fix a) we need to be able to move cat and product + sizes listing up/ down to change the way the order they appear on the site b) ensure sites site map is updated & records changes to product and cat as well as other pages when added or deleted 11. New add page templates a) when we add a new page we would like to select from a small number of templates, each new page should allow us to choose under which navigation tree to should appear and allow us to set seo features accordingly ie meta tags, keywords, description 12. X- product display, a) we are unable to list/edit a product in more than one category at the same time, and therefore need to enter the same product many times, this cause error in some duplicated listings. Therefore when adding a new product we want to be able to choose where and in what and how many categories this item is listed, if we edit the item at any time, all listings are updated 13. new product rating and like feature a) allows all visitors to rate and/or like our product, within product page visitors and chose to award a product between 1-5 stars and /or like an item. The results are displayed next to the items as seen in the image below. The number of users who like the item is displayed in numbers it should also have a like through to 'facebook'. product page layout -
