Complete Website Overhaul & E-Commerce Implementation

I'm seeking a seasoned expert to completely transform my existing website. Sure, here's a revised version of your request: • We are looking for a developer who can successfully integrate our platform with our master distributor's EDI connections. Our previous software developer was unable to accomplish this, so we need someone with the expertise to handle it effectively. • The website needs to undergo a full layout redesign. The new design should be modern, user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. Mastery in User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design is a must. • The navigation should be entirely revamped for better and seamless user journeys. Factors like breadcrumbs and clear categorization are key, requiring excellent knowledge in information architecture. • Important feature additions are required, such as implementing an online chat support system, essential for prompt customer interactions and service. Proven experience with integrating real-time chat systems is preferred. • I also need to integrate an e-commerce functionality to facilitate selling products. The e-commerce platform should be robust, secure and intuitive with features like product listings, shopping cart, secure payment gateways, and other e-commerce essentials. Prior experience in the successful development and launch of e-commerce websites is required. • An enticing, efficient, and user-centric website is my ultimate goal. I envision the site to be a unique blend of quality aesthetics and exceptional functionality. Freelancers with varied experiences in full-stack web development, UX/UI design, e-commerce development and online chat support integration are highly desired for this project. • We are looking to completely remodel our website to make it the most user-friendly distribution/vendor platform possible. We aim to stand out from our competitors by showcasing our reliability, time efficiency, and superior customer service for B2B interactions. We want to capture and retain the attention of other businesses as long as possible when they visit our site. • We sell disposable medical items. We also sell bulk items ranging from cleaning supplies to disposable trash bags and more. We aim to be the top distributor chosen by hospitals, clinics, casinos, restaurant franchises, and others. We want a team that can enhance our chances of being the preferred choice for these businesses over any competitors.
