What we are looking for: Web developer – either one person who can handle both front and back-end or one front-end developer one back-end developer. We are going to build an e-commerce site that is overlayed with additional functionality, including workflow and coordination tools; this will be a group shopping platform where the bride can act as a mini site administrator with her bridesmaids connected to her account. We are either going to use Magento as the e-commerce platform upon which we customize or we are building from scratch (we need help evaluating the risk of customizing on top of Magento given that the coordination tools are critical to our value proposition).
Front-end skills should include UX and UI experience. We would love to have someone who can help us with look and feel but are planning on having a graphic designer work with us on this if we cannot find a front-end developer who can do this too.
On the back-end, we would like to set up our website for robust analytics, inventory management, integration with an accounting system, etc. Past experience building a website end-to-end is a must; experience with e-commerce and/or social-networking platforms is a plus.
