Need to make a website to showcase various products, which will belong to different categories and subcategories. There will need to be a category master, where one would create different categories. Thereafter, through an admin panel, different products, their photographs, descriptions can be uploaded to the site.
The home page will show list of categories and the number of products within them.
There will need to be password protection to browse the products too. The prospective buyer can send in a regsitartion request through a form, which will be approved and a password will be sent to the buyer who can log in and browse the site.
When the buyer is browsing, he can keep selecting the products, as in a shopping cart and then click to send inquiries, with comments.
We will view the inquiries pending ( buyer email, products interested in, date of visit, comments), through the admin panel and respond accordingly.
We can give a similar site for the selected bidder to look at.
The project therefore involves :
The template design
PHP scripts
MySQL database.
We already have the web host, but you may use your test server if you want.
