See the mockup attached. This is a migration but you only need to build the site and Ill handle the data move.
The client wants this in Thesis to take advantage of the speed.
If you look at the mockup, here are the details:
1. The site is basically a product site using posts for each product.
2. The categories will be used to manage the manufacturers, carriers, and special categories like, whats new, specials, etc. Each post will dynamically show the product box in the correct spot based on the programming using the category on the page.
3. The post admin needs a few special fields for “Price, thumbnail loader, and special js code used for the cart / button. The title and excerpt and descrip will be used for each products relevant data.
4. Top left box is an ajaxy dependent selector where the user can first grab a manufacturer (dropdown shows the category names for manufacturer), Then based on the manufacturer, the posts that have that manufacturer as their category will show (the dependent ones).
See this site for the exact nature of the dropdown functionality ; GSMLIBERTY.COM
5. The left sidebar will then have the category listings for manufacturer … click any of them takes you to a category specific page with all the relevant products shown in the product box style just like the mockup.
6. Reviews can be just a moderated guest post allowing users to submit reviews. The full review page is just like a blog category listing page with all review teasers shown for the review category in the blog.
7. The homepage will only have the ‘featured products’ category products showing with a max of 6 showing. There will NOT be any pagination or sorting since its only 6. These products are styled so that the respective post fields are fixed location for any product box. The js code is behind the ‘unlock now’ button.
8. The main banner is actually a slideshow of about 4 slides of text. The read more button is a javascript popup with more copy for each of the slides. I would think this would be a post for each as well.
9. The top right whats new box is bg image of the star and just a product block post for a post using the ‘home-new’ category. If more than 1 we can make a fade slider.
10. The footer has ‘news/articles’ post teasers showing the most recent 3. This is setup as blog posts – styled like the mockup.
11. The subscribe box goes to a feedburner account.
13. Social buttons are just links to the social urls for this site.
14. The whats new and specials top navigation are just pages (templates) showing the similar layout to home without the banner and whats new box and showing any product box for a ‘whats new’ category oR a ‘specials’ category for the respective page.
15. Contact us is just a simple form
16. affiliates is a wp page for some copy to be supplied.
17. There is also an about us top nav not shown – again this is just a wordpress page styled as a 2 column layout with catgories on left and content box on right / main.
18. Button / images in top header / right side are supplied to you with their urls.
Thats about the entire project.
Really simple if you know the wordpress codex and you have done a bunch of wp sites before. If possible and not making a mess out of the dev, the client wants this in thesis – ill buy the license.
