WooCommerce Website Theme Migration and Optimization for E-commerce

Job ID: 38719992

Budget: $250 – $750 CAD

Project Description:

We are an e-commerce company specializing in high-quality, culturally diverse products for children. We are looking for a highly skilled WooCommerce expert to help migrate our existing website to a new theme and plugin. The site must maintain a fun, playful, and colorful aesthetic while ensuring a clean and contemporary design that reflects our brand identity. The successful candidate must be experienced in WooCommerce theme migration, site optimization, and e-commerce functionality testing.

Project Requirements:

1. Theme and Plugin Setup:

- Implement the Botiga theme and Merchant plugin on our WooCommerce website. It will be purchased by us and provided to you.
- Set up the theme and plugin on a staging environment, ensuring all current products, pages, and functionality are smoothly integrated.

2. Customization:

Website Theme & Style:
- Customize the new theme to reflect our brand's identity, including colors, fonts, and layout preferences.
- Maintain a playful and vibrant aesthetic while ensuring the site is clean, modern, and user-friendly.
- We will provide a mood board to give you a sense of the desired design style.

Plugin:
- We are using the WooCommerce ATUM Multi-Location Inventory Management Plugin (https://stockmanagementlabs.com/) and need it to integrate smoothly with the Bright Plugin's Pre-Order Plugin (https://brightplugins.com/).
- The current setup for the pre-order plugin applies fields at the product level, but we need this functionality to be customized so it applies to each inventory location managed through the ATUM plugin.
- We need the multi-location inventory plugin reconfigured to ensure that inventory for an entire order is deducted from a single location only, instead of being spread across multiple locations.

3. Performance Optimization:

- Ensure the site is fully optimized for speed, including fast loading times and mobile responsiveness.

4. E-commerce Functionality:

- The website must retain and improve existing e-commerce functionality.
- Full testing is required to ensure smooth checkout flow, proper functioning of the cart, payment gateways, and a seamless user experience on both desktop and mobile.

5. SEO Migration:

- Ensure that all existing SEO elements (meta tags, alt text, URLs) are preserved during the migration.

6. Testing and Migration to Live Site:

- Conduct comprehensive testing of the new setup in the staging environment, including cross-browser and mobile testing.
- Once approved, migrate the website from staging to the live environment, ensuring minimal downtime.


Qualifications:
- Proven experience in WooCommerce theme migration and optimization.
- Strong background in e-commerce website design and user experience.
- Expertise in performance optimization (speed, mobile-friendliness).
- Experience with SEO best practices during website migration.
- Ability to handle customizations while maintaining brand identity and functionality.
- Strong attention to detail, especially with e-commerce checkout flows and payment integration.
- A portfolio of WooCommerce websites showcasing similar projects is required.

Additional Information:

- Please include your rate and estimated project completion time in your proposal.
