325503 Woot Tracking Website

Please don't bid or contact us to let us know how great your company is and how you could do so much of a better job for more money. The objective of this project is to rebuild and redesign [login to view URL] which is a Woot Tracking Website. There is existing code for the site however we wish for it to be used only as reference and prefer a complete recode of the site. The site needs to be coded in ASP and capable of running on a Windows 2003/IIS server with the utilization on a MySQL backend if needed and utilizing CSS. The code needs to be clean and optimized to minimize server and bandwidth utilization. The site also needs to be cross browser compatible, and search engine optimized as best as possible (We realize this is not an SEO project). Feature requirements for the site: - The site is primarily advertising and donation supported. Each page/section needs to be able to display up-to 8 different ads including Google ads optimized to show ads relevant to the current product on Woot.com. Each ad zone needs to be configurable within an admin panel to refresh as different intervals, track displays, track clicks and add/remove/enable/disable ads. Contextual & Inline ads need to be able to display for all text located on the site including item description. - The information displayed on the site needs to be refreshed within a certain time variable configured in an admin panel. The page should not need to reload to refresh the information, but only sections whose information has changed should refresh (possible Ajax) - The site needs to be able to detect a woot off and change settings dynamically in this situation. The refresh rate of the above sections need to go into Wootoff mode and based on settings in admin panel. - The site needs to play an audio file for 4 scenarios, each with its own audio: New woot item. Woot item at or below 2%. Woot item sold out. Bag of crap woot item (in the instance, it will also need to open a new page with the order page for item being sold on [login to view URL]) for paying members. Audio files should only play once for each instance except for paying members who should be able to configure when the files play, and how often. The page should also be able to grab focus of the screen, a feature which can be enabled by paying members. - The site will need to have multiple pages contained in navigation tabs including: + Main page containing: Woot off indicator. Current woot item. Price of item. Shipping for item. Condition of item. Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page). Availability of item (100%....to sold out) or none listed if no woot off. Description of item formatted as it is on Woot.com. Link to discuss item on [login to view URL] Sale stats snapshot as shown on [login to view URL] with ability to click and expand without leaving site/page. Button to order item linking to order url. Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate). Statistics of current item being sold during previous sales. + Mini tracker page containing: Woot off indicator. Current woot item. Price of item. Shipping for item. Condition of item. Picture of item (clickable to enlarge without leaving site/page). Availability of item (100%....to sold out) or none listed if no woot off. Link to discuss item on [login to view URL] Button to order item linking to order url. Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate). + Text only tracker page containing: Current woot item. Price of item. Shipping for item. Condition of item. Availability of item (100%....to sold out) or none listed if no woot off. Link to discuss item on [login to view URL] Button to order item linking to order url. Estimated sellout time (needs to be accurate). +past items page as seen here with full statistics: [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] + Contact us page / Advertise here page + Signup for membership page: Give users the ability to signup using PayPal via either monthly or annual membership to be determined later via admin panel. Once signed up, they will need to have a user panel where they can update their information, opt out of mailings, and customize sections of site as described within project. + Existing members page as described above. *all pages will need to meet the advertising scheme described above. *all pages need to contain a title showing the % left of current item and its name, visible to search engines. -Each page needs to have a dynamic link to Digg optimized for current item. -Site needs to have a common footer display load times, information, copyright and number of active users, number of members on site. -A link needs to be available to test focus grabbing and audio alerts. - Backend: Dynamic .gif or .jpg banners need to be generated displaying an ad for the site and what it's tracking, and % left to be used by members as forum signatures. Site needs to automatically and immediately post an ad in the woot forums once a new item is available. You can see this by visiting the woot forums. Site needs to allow all users to sign up for membership, but allow them to pay for upgrades enabling above features. Admin Site needs to allow for e-mails sent to all users, paying users. Site also needs to send a welcome email for each paid, and free users. An admin panel which allows for management of site and users. Allows for reporting of users and due payments with ability to e-mail users letting them know their membership is due for renewal and ability to suspend their account where if they log in, they are taken to a payment page. - Anything else that may come up as fine tuning during project.
