We are looking for someone to develop and build a fairly simple html and flash based website for us; however, we are very picky about who we work with and require a very high level of professionalism in the product that is being built for us. We want to project an extremely large and professional image with this website because we are in the process of developing it into a franchise.
We are seeking an individual or company who can produce corporate quality work and has a tremendous amount of knowledge and input that they can add to the project to help us establish the type of "image" and "brand" we are looking for.
In the "Deliverables" section is a detailed overview of the project.
## Deliverables
We have developed a service called the "Windows Reload" service that uses proprietary software. This software can erase a hard drive, delete the partitions, reformat the hard drive, reload Windows XP Home or Pro, install all necessary drivers/updates/patches and additional utilities (e.g. - AIM, Adobe Reader, Quicktime, etc.) in less than 40 minutes.
This service is used by our network of computer repair providers. We want to brand this service for them and have a website built for home users to go to to learn about the service and easily locate a service provider in there area.
We want a website design and simple brand (including a logo) created for [[login to view URL]][1] that allows users to visit the site, learn a little bit about the service through a short tutorial (flash movie) and then browse service providers that are licensed to offer this service. On a separate page, there should be a map of the United States that allows users to click on their state and view available service providers in their area.
The website will eventually be integrated with a SQL database to supply information to the map. The database will keep track of who is a licensed service provider and then whenever a state is clicked on, the service providers in that state will appear. Then, when you click on each service provider link, it will take you to a page that has information about that service provider (contact information, business description, hours of operations, etc.). THIS DATABASE DISCRIPTION IS ONLY MEANT TO EXPLAIN THE FUNCTION OF THE SITE. YOUR BID SHOULD NOT REFLECT ANY DATABASE WORK. You will only need to create the map and design for what it will look like once a database is integrated onto the pages. We have a separate company working on the database work, because it is going to be integrated in a much larger project.
The third page on the site should be a page that service providers can go to who are interested in becoming a licensed "Windows Reload" service provider. On that page will be a simple tutorial (flash movie) that explains how we have "Windows Reload" set-up and what they need to do to become a service provider. Then, underneath (or at the end of the tutorial) should be a link that takes them to the website they need to go to to buy licensing rights from (we will supply the url later). There should also be a FAQ page that we can list questions and answers and a contact us page for anyone who wants to contact us.
Here is a general breakdown of the deliverables:
1.) Homepage (html with flash movie): explains the "Windows Reload" service
2.) US Map page (flash): allows visitors to find service providers near them
3.) FAQ page (html): lists and answers common questions
4.) Contact Us page (html): allows visitors to fill out a contact us form which should send us an automatic email with there filled out information
5.) Become a licensed service provider page (html with flash movie): explains the process and benefits of becoming a service provider, then directs them to our licensing website
6.) Complete logo design and matching website
What we will supply you:
1.) Detailed wording for all the pages
2.) A breakdown of what the flash video should show, step-by-step, and what the wording should be in each section. This is for both flash video's requested in this bid
