Price Comparison Website

Please note: PSD will be provided by us

I need a highly experienced and talented programmer, has the capacity to build a powerful and attractive product and services reviews and price comparison website that enables customers to easily search read reviews and compare products/services at competitive prices, with the added option to be directed to the provider to complete the transaction the website must be similar but not a copy to:

http://www.testfreaks.com -OUR main idea
http://www.moneysupermarket.com/
http://www.kelkoo.co.uk
http://www.omparethemarket.com
http://www.confused.com
http://www.pricerunner.co.uk

Website part
– Site must be compatible with all well-known web browsers and must load as quickly as possible.
– A full user guide must be included, explaining how the site, database and script work. This must also show how to customize the website, add or edit content, add/remove stores etc.
– I need to have copyright ownership of the completed project, history of recent searches made by customers in the site along with a forums page (option to enable or disable forum).
– SEO critical and I may want to hire continued SEO.
– Incorporate ability to search net listings for products and services, search among top products or services according to different parameters (price, ratings) and facilitate location on a Google Maps Interface so people can see where markets or offices are, plus images and info of the products. Data can also be fed by signed up associates.
– The site allows for zip code input (or manually specified location) to calculate shipping and tax (+DHL + FedEx + TNT + EMS).
– Feedback form for lazy people – ajax checkboxes of 3-5 top product features based on five star rating
– Online monitoring of suspicious activity on site (feedback, score etc…)
– Idea center – http://www.walmart.com/cp/Cereal-Breakfast/976783 got idea.

BEFORE bidding on the project please have a look at the websites that we like and ONLY bid if you can do the project. Also let us know if you have any experience with price comparison.

IMPORTANT:
You will only be awarded the project once you have agreed to the terms and have provided me with the TOTAL bid amount. I don’t want to get surprises later on by asking me that you want more and more money. Please save yourself the time and don’t try to con our company.

PAYMENT TERMS:
Due to the horrific experiences we have obtained, I will only submit payment in full once the project is 100% complete and operational. I will only use escrow with developers that have 4+ feedback rating, for all others below that amount I will not use escrow but will instead pay in full once the project is complete.

As a bonus, if you can program the site to recognize when it is being accessed from a mobile device such as an iphone, blackberry, whatever, and then have the site be displayed in a mobile friendly manner I will pay you EXTRA.

Thank you for your interest!

Data Collection – Russian Products

We need to collect the product data from two websites that are written in Russian. We have permission to collect this and we know what fields we want but, we don’t know which field in the site’s page may be the product sizes because we don’t know the language. Much of it can be figured out by the format but if you can read Russian, it would be a big help.

There are a few thousand products so it must be a script that collects it, not manual entry.
