Magento Developer for Advanced Filtering Integration

Project Description: I am seeking an experienced Magento developer to integrate advanced filtering capabilities into our Magento 1.9.2.1 e-commerce platform, which focuses on children's products. This enhancement aims to streamline the shopping experience, allowing users to perform precise searches and thus improve overall user satisfaction and conversion rates. Key Requirements: Size Filter: Implement a filter for children's clothing sizes ranging from 0-6 years. This should include a series of checkboxes allowing selection from predefined sizes available in our product database. Shoe Size Filter: Similar to the clothing size filter but specifically for children's shoes, covering German shoe sizes 17 to 28. The filter should dynamically display only the sizes available for the products listed. Gender Filter: Enable filtering by gender—boys, girls, and unisex—using checkboxes. This should cover all product categories. Color Filter: Introduce a color filter where customers can select products based on color preferences, represented through color icons. Material Filter: Customers should be able to filter products by materials such as cotton, linen, and muslin, using checkboxes. Pattern Filter: Add a filter to sort products by patterns, including options like striped, dotted, and animal motifs. Technical Specifications: The filters must be responsive and suitable for both mobile and desktop views. Ensure that the filters do not impact the loading speed adversely. The UI/UX should be intuitive, making it easy for customers to navigate and apply filters. Integration needs to be seamless with our existing Magento system without disrupting ongoing operations. Objectives: Enhance user experience by enabling efficient and targeted searches. Increase the conversion rate by helping customers find suitable products quickly. Improve navigation and customer satisfaction with better, more intuitive filtering options. Reduce bounce rates by optimizing the filter functionality. Freelancer Requirements: Proven experience with Magento platform, especially version 1.9.2.1. Strong background in implementing complex filtering mechanisms. Portfolio of similar projects, particularly in e-commerce. Excellent communication skills and attention to detail.
