Build a E commerce Website

E commerce Website Open to using wordpress library or other eCommerce theme or template. No need to build the wheel again. Phase 1: Bidding/Auction Feature This feature is a feature used similarly on websites such as Freelancer.com. This app will allow customers to bid out and auction off jobs to contractors and different companies. So for instance if someone wants to bid out pricing for the containers a customer can create a bid and allow companies to send their prices to the customers according to his demands. Similar to how an auction works customers can set deadlines for companies to bid their projects. Not just for building but for other aspects as well. Customers will be able to bid logistics companies to send to ship and transfer the materials, bid companies that sell materials such as floor tiles, windows, doors, and every component of a house. In building usually the contractors, the project manager or the developer will do these things for the client and find a way to take a little bit extra for himself. Now customers can control and directly contact the vendor. In addition it allows for customers to negotiate with the vendors and forced vendors to be more flexible with their pricing assuming they want the job. This also allows vednors an easier way to bid on projects they may have not already known about. As opposed to customers bidding out to only the people they know it allows strangers to get in the game. Now vendors do not have to cold call customers to get business Every potential customer will now advertise their needs and it allows for more variety to participate in the bidding process. Phase 2: Creating the Network and E-Commerce Platform Beyond all the design features and bidding apps the website will serve as a network and E-commerce website. Mainly we will use the model of Alibaba. On Alibaba although E-commerce is the main component of the website, there is also a chat app. For instance when a customer clicks on a product there is an option for the customer to chat with the vendor. For companies and vendors they can also have profiles. Just like a person or company would have on a facebook profile, they can have profiles in which they can display their work, projects, and merchandise. The profiles aspect will be very similar to facebook. In fact companies along with having profiles on our website can have links on their profile pages that can direct customers to either their facebook page or their company's website. This part of the website will be creating an E-Commerce Platform along with a social network for vendors and clients to connect either Via B2B or B2C transactions. Also customers will be able to search for products in a variety of ways. Either they can search via countries and locations, or they can search via the product or industry they need. So for instance, say a customer is looking to buy floor tiles and the customer is in the US. He can go under floor tiles and then pick various countries to see vendors, or he can search by country and then pick products/services and see all the vendors.
