Build a Website

We are looking for talented and creative individuals (wordpress / html developer(s) to create a professional wordpress based website (or PHP) for the relaunch of veganrivercruises.com. The site will be required to be responsive and later we plan to have an app, too, which would turn into a new project. We are a small tour operator for ALL VEGAN cruises and tours. While we are still small we want to compete with the best to deliver an amazing online experience to our customers. This means we want to provide an impressive and classy and vegan and professional screen-design as well as and intuitive, fast and convenient customer journey when accessing our site. In order to build the website with a high quality and as fast as possible we thought about using an existing theme, but we are flexible. Regarding the user interface design we want to make the most of it to be able to compete with professional sites. The new website will use the domain [login to view URL] (English) and [login to view URL] (German) and be multi-language (starting with english/german only, Spanish and French to be added later). BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS THE BOOKING SYSTEM!!! Even more important is the booking system. Unfortunately, there are no suitable plugins for this (it seems), as we want our users to book their favourite cabin category etc. So when a user wants to book a cabin he / she will be forwarded to a booking system. What is the best way to create it? Custom PHP? We need a live booking system similar to RezMagic (but less powerful). We need to have ability to sell anything "in-house" online. The customer experience on the web must be both powerful and as simple as possible. Customers are led through the minimum number of steps in an intuitive order, making the required decisions along the way. A clear and easy to understand breakdown of all items booked is presented prior to collecting the required deposits as a final step. Customers also have the option of logging into their account and making payments at anytime if applicable. • Event Manager control of web displayed available inventory (inventory = cabins / rooms on the ships) • Terms and conditions agreement required at the event level • Style sheet driven "look and feel" to reflect the event image (vegan river cruises) • Real-time online payment processing ([login to view URL] gateway) OR bank transfer option. • Automatic e-mail generated confirmation • Online customer profile management ... Please check all attachements, so that you can get a better overview. Rezmagic live: [login to view URL] Other good booking systems with logical steps are [login to view URL], [login to view URL] and cruises.ebookers.com. Another very important aspect of the project is SEO. Detailed SEO strategy to be developed. The Yoast pugin might be good for us. The website structure will be similar to our existing website, just more professional. For the chat feature we plan to opt for the zopim plugin. Or any other one you consider as appropriate. And, we would like to add clean/simple social sharing buttons. OUR WEBSITE: [login to view URL] Feel free to ask any questions. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BRING THIS PROJECT TO LIFE 3 TIMES ALREADY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, 2 INDIAN COMPANIES AND AN UKRAINIAN COMPANY GAVE UP AFTER MANY MONTHS. SO WE ARE SOMEHOW UNDER PRESSURE. The last developer tried to work with Ruby on Rails, but failed again.
