Revamp Website Frontend from Databas - PHP/MySQL/XML/AJAX
Redesign templates / NO design required / NO Backend programming required
I need the frontend recoded of my MySql/PHP deals site - the site is FULLY functional but needs to be cleaned up for SEO/Speed and because it is butt ugly.
NOTE: I have a css template ready to go so no design is involved.
NOTE: There is no programming of the backend required for this project.
I will provide a link to the site for interest programmers in PMB. PLEASE view BEFORE bidding and BO automated "I can do this" bids will be considered
==========================================================================================
Project:
You will essentially pull the data from the database into a series of preformated pages.
To reduce DB serverload I require you to generate xml/rss files at regular intervals (cron) and base pages on those files. If you are familar with Flashden plugins you will understand some of the xml formats required.
Database:
The site consists of 4 basic database tables
categories // stores // deals // categorized (connects deals to stores)
From these tables specific data needs to be parsed into xml files used in frontend templates. I use php includes thoughout the templates for different content so they must still work.
Templates:
All pages based on one simple CSS template. Header, Footer, Left Sidebar, Right sidebar, Body
- Header Static except for Title, Description, Keywords Metadata
- Left Sidebar
- - Categories Navigation Module // Categories with internal linking (fixed)
- - Stats Module // # Deals, # Stores, # Categories (include)
- Body
- - [login to view URL] = 5 Newest deals, 5 Exping deals, 5 Popular deals
- - [login to view URL] = Deal description, link to category, link to Store
- - [login to view URL] = Store description, All deals available from that store
- - [login to view URL] = All deals relating to a single category
- - [login to view URL] = generic pages used for swapping content area in body area :
- - - search results
- - - top 50
- - - expiring 50
- - - recommend 50
- - - exclusive 50
- - - submit a deal
- - - about
- - - contact
- - - privacy
- Right Sidebar
- - Latest 20 deals (include)
- Footer Static
Modules (includes)
Although all code alreday exist for these functions you will probably want to program this yourself.
categories - navigation (fixed position)
Latest Deals - As Sidebar (compact) / As Page (more detailed)
Expiring Deals - As Sidebar (compact) / As Page (more detailed)
Recomended Deals - - As Sidebar (compact) / As Page (more detailed)
Most Popular Deals - As Sidebar (compact) / As Page (more detailed)
Seach Results - As Page (more detailed)
Stats - As sidebar - # deals, # Stores, # Categories
VERY IMPORTANT: The site is to be built in a test directory before moving to the front page - no writng to the DB allowed or alteration of the current site in any way
What I want is a facelift that is quick, clean and SEO friendly. You will create xml files from the backend DB as basis of site and implement into the CSS template
I am not a programmer, mysql expert or ajax guru, but I expect that you are and are open to suggestions as to how YOU can redo my site.
I will ignore all clip n paste "we can do it" bids and request examples of your work in PMB before your bid.
Payment on completion of project - no escrow unless you have a spotless record with over 50 complete projects.
I would really like to find a php,mysql,ajax expert I can turn to for all my needs in the future and I hope this project will be the start of a long working relationship!
Thanks in advance
