Sub Division Logo

I need a logo for a loyalty scheme we are starting – whereby we approach schools and offer them cash back for every order that generates through their school – we are a garden nursery and want a logo that is fun, incorporating a school theme as well as a garden/flower theme. see our site www.brentwoodnursery.co.za – this is not our main log but one for a new scheme we are starting

Google Map Locations And Filtering

I need to create a program that lets me enter leads into the system and then view them on a map of the united states. This map would take the zipcodes of all the leads and place them on the map in the correct zip code.

I also need to color code the leads so that I can filter them out by category. I would also like to be able to enter multiple zip codes for one lead that shows me on a map where that lead is willing to travel.

Also would like to have notes attached to each lead.

Magento Or Oscommerce Pos Module

I need someone with extensive Magento experience who can assist in setting up a Magento store to handle inventory control and POS needs.

The client is a food industry wholesaler, and needs a way for sales reps to quickly order products, and restock inventory for customers (super markets). Needs barcode scanning integration as well.

We are locked into using Magento as we do not want to rely on 3rd party POS or inventory software. In other words, client is seeking an “in-house” solution.

Client currently uses NECS Entrée (http://necs.com/entree/). Upon contact I will provide you a demo link so you can see their current system.

PLEASE NOTE
If Magento does not support this in any way, I am open to use other system such as Oscommerce (would rather use Magento as Oscommerce presents many issues such as vulnerability and out-dated interface)

Mass Emailing

We have a list of 500,000 user that we would like to send a custom email to. The list need to have a remove link that will add the users email address to a txt file that can be scrubbed later. Delivery rates and operates must be tracked as well. If the email bounces back then it must be added to the remove list. The will be allot of out of office replies, those replies require action but I would like them to be filtered if possible so they do not reach my inbox. All of the other replies will be sent to an email that I have.

WordPress. Modification To A Premium Theme. 2

I have some changes to make to a premium wordpress theme. Not a huge amount of work and should be fairly straight forward.

Notes:

I will install the theme on a test server and allow access to the developer tasked with the work.

Payment will be escrowed.

Payment will not be released until the theme modifications are tested for both functionality and security.

Modifications must be documented and delivered on both a test environment and in a downloadable package. They will be added to another site following completion of the project hence the requirements.

If you can’t meet these requirements please don’t bid.

Cubecart 3 Skin Small Modification

This is a VERY QUICK job for someone who knows cubecart and css

We have a stock layout for cubecart we had created.

Currently categories are across the top bar on the page and site documents on the bottom bar.

We want the categories in a side box on inner pages (skin is set up with no side bar on home page only on inner pages) and site documents in the top bar.

BEFORE YOU BID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We work with cubecart WE KNOW this is not a big job our work load is just really heavy.

This is at most 10 minutes for any programmer familiar with cubecart and CSS so no sill out of budget bids please, they will just be removed.

We have the base skin installed on a demo site and will give you access to that to make the changes.

We will escrow if you wish however one read of our reviews will show you we are very fast payers so this is not really necessary.
