e-business and database setup

Seeking immediate help with back-end coding for some web design jobs. Please provide separate estimates for items 1, 2, and 3. 1) Shopping cart/database for a small e-commerce site. Database will start with about 40 products, in 3-5 categories (such as books, prints, posters). Client must be able to add new products themselves. The way the products are displayed must conform to designer's HTML & CSS site specs. Designer has not set up an e-biz site before, and needs assistance and education on the various aspects of it. This bid request includes a word document outlining features the client wants. It might be less expensive for client to use a PayPal merchant account vs their own SSL. I'm not sure what is the best method, and would value the coder’s opinion. 2) The client wants to set up an "affiliate" program that other vendors can join. If someone buys something by following a link from the affiliate's site to client's site, the affiliate gets a cut of the sale. I know there are two options here: for a third-party to manage it, or for the client to manage it himself. Please advise about the differences, and if possible recommend third parties who manage affiliate programs. Both the client and the affiliate vendors want to be able to track sales, and distribution of income. 3) For another site, the client wants areas on the site where they can easily input data themselves. There are likely two instances where this will happen: a) uploading photos with descriptions, and b) uploading links to press articles. The client has minimal computer knowledge, such as use of Word. I want them to be able to manage (via admin panel?) the data they upload (adding and deleting items). Any text & links input by client must conform to designer's CSS & HTML formatting. Client must not have the ability to mess with any of the overall layout. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). Problem/Opportunity Statement Assist designer with back-end coding for two sites: a small business site, and also a small non-profit organization’s site. Business Objectives ·Coder will work with designer to provide fully functional websites to the clients that include databases that can be updated and administered by the client via an administration panel. Assume Client has minimal computer skills. All coding will work seamlessly with designer’s specifications. Functionality This proposal supports the following functionality: ·The databases will be installed either directly onto the clients’ sites, or the designer’s site (to be migrated to the clients’ sites), and all site coding for shopping cart and database will work seamlessly with the designer’s HTML and CSS specifications. Assumptions ·Project must be completed within 30 days of acceptance of bid, unless otherwise arranged by designer. ## Platform The coding must work on Windows2000, Windows XP and Mac OS9 and higher, in all browser versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape for PC and Mac, Safari, Firefox (Mozilla).
