The ultimate goal for me is to have a website similar to [login to view URL] but available in 3 languages/currencies . English (British Pound), French, German. (Euro)
Although I have an idea on the design, the programmer/designer opinions and suggestions will be appreciated and evaluated.
Ideally, the website should be able to detect the clients language and switch to that language automatically. If the clients language is not supported then it should present the English version.
The website should use the whole screen space not just a narrow frame.
I already have a website I purchased as a starter. However it needs work to get where we needed to be. This site is built in OsCMax v2.0 version of osCommerce. I would appreciate your suggestion as to whether this is the best version to continue or I should change to a different version. The site is hosted on AABox Web Hosting reseller. It provides support for minor changes. I need your suggestion whether this is the best option.
The project can be divided in three stages. First build the site in English and then translate to French and German. Let me know if you like to bid only on the English version or you are confident you can do the French and German versions as well. Currently, the site has all three languages activated, however, the translations are incomplete and order processing is not perfct in all languages. If you agree to take the French and German versions then, everything must be translated and order processing tested before the project will be considered complete.
Additional work will be required in the future to accommodate business changes. If you are the right person more work will be coming your way.
The design should allow me to move the website to alternative hosting if required.
Please review the attached file BEFORE you bid. Previous experienc with OSCMAx and knowledge of French or German language a plus.
