We are looking to create a shopify site for selling spare parts for tools we sell (we do not wish to sell the tools themselves online, just parts). Each tool we sell contains about 40-50 parts. We have about 60-70 Models of our tools and the entire list of individual parts is 200-250.
We would want to organize the shop so people could find the model of the tool they own and see a diagram of that model and a list of the parts for that model. The diagram shows the parts along with a reference number for each part. Note that the reference number on the diagram is NOT the part number (it is just a reference to the number in the model diagram that identifies each part).
Users may also know the part numbers they need and should be able to go to a different parts list page and order parts from there (ie irrespective of model).
We need someone to design and create a Shopify site to accomplish this. It would consist of
1 - a home page where people can choose to shop for spare parts by model number or by part number. An organized list of tools by type and model would be presented to choose from.
2 - "Model number page". this page would be laid out with a diagram at top and the list of associated parts (organized by reference number on the diagram from 1 to N). the user could then order whatever parts they needed right on that page (ie each part has its own entry field for the quantity of parts they need for any part on the list.
The look of the "model" page could look something like this (this is an example and is not our site). http://tool-parts.co.uk/acatalog/stanley-bostitch-bt1855-e-brad-nailer-parts.html
Notes:
- We do not need the ability to be able to "zoom in" on the diagram as we feel it can be legible as is.
- The left hand side of the page would contain the "navigation links" in the site. it would consist of links by model number to that model's parts page
3 - A "parts" page. this is just a list of each of the parts. with the ability for the user to specify the quantity of any part(s) then need. There is no need to have a page for each part.
4- the normal shopping cart page, payment pages etc that come with shopify
We want the ability to then populate this site with the parts and the model pages. ie the developer is to create the site structure, the products data structure, and page templates as note above. But we want to then be able to create the parts database, pricing etc. and all the individual model pages in the site so we can maintain it.
I hope this provides enough information for you to provide us with a proposal for this work. if you have questions or need clarification, please contact me.
