316214 Wiki meets pricing engine
N/A
Paiement à la livraison
I'm looking to have a website built that is a cross between [url removed, login to view] and wikipedia. It will be based solely around the sports nutrition and supplement industry.
There will be three major components to this project.
First I will need a web crawler built that can collect and store certain information from certain websites such as products sold, price, and availability. By certain websites I mean simply any major online sports nutrition and supplement retailer (such as [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], ETC) This crawler will be the most important (core) part of the project. Depending on how this can be made to work I may need certain options such as being able to enter new products to search for or new websites to search, sending it to a certain website to update its stored information, making corrections on certain information it gathers on its own, ability to have it go off on its own or to be able to tell it where to go next, etc.
This engine controls what will currently be the largest, most important part of the website which is there to allow people to have a place to go to find the best prices on products they want.
The second part is the wikipedia type of application that could probably be built from one of the many free wiki programs out there. When someone searches for a product, there will be an informational area for that product that will be wikipedia like in both design and in that users will be the ones to input/edit the information about the products. These pages will exist for every product, product brand (BSN, MuscleTech, Etc) every product type (Protein, creatine, weight loss, Vitamins, Etc), and retailer. This can start out very simple without much information and will grow as users add more and more information and create new pages. Just like wikipedia, I would like certain words to automatically link to other pages within the site... For instance, The mention of the word "protein" would create a link that would go to the main protein informational page (wiki), or the mention of a certain product may bring you to its pricing or its informational page.
The goal is to allow people to go back and forth between the pricing pages and the wiki pages and vice versa. For instance if they are searching for a product price they can click somewhere to go to the wiki page for that product and if they are in the wiki pages and find a product they like, they will be able to click a link that takes them to the pricing pages for the available retailers carrying that product.
The last major element is the site design itself. I will require a logo for either [url removed, login to view] or [url removed, login to view] (I own both). This can be simple along with the rest of the site design. In fact, the site design, other than functionality should be built as cost effectively as possible. The homepage could be built in a simple Google like fashion, the pricing pages could look very much like [url removed, login to view], and the wiki pages could look very much like Wikipedia pages.
There will be nothing sold on the website so I don't need shopping carts or any type of e-commerce applications. It will be purely informational and advertising based and initially the only revenue source will probably be google adsense links built into the pages.
This build will be a beta version and will be far from the envisioned finished product. What I'm really looking for is a scalable and strong core to build on as the site grows in users and information is added. I will be implementing constant changes as finances allow so I would like the winning bidder to be a company that I can rely on for numerous future jobs, big and small.
Please contact me with any questions you may have and I look forward to a long prosperous relationship with the winning bidder.
