I am looking for an experienced Magento designer to help formulate a project plan to port <www.4scopes.com>.

I was going to use Volusion, but keep running into unacceptable limitations. I will be outsourcing much of the programming, but I need a designer who is already familiar with Magento to help me create a demo cart for prototyping.

Here are the basic requirements

compare product specifications
search by product attributes
accessories and related products.
discounts on bundles and monthly specials
free shipping on orders over $99
multiple stores (US, Australia, Europe)
multiple currencies
multilingual stores.
flat rate shipping (US/Intl rates per pound)
USPS/UPS/DHL options dependent on destination.
Endicia Integration
Drop ship from Multiple Vendors
Authorize Net (MC/VISA). Google Checkout, PayPal (depending on country)
Integrate a blog to draw traffic
design for SEO

I do not know if they need to be modified to be practical with Magento. I have some ideas for new features that I hope will be ultimately be possible.

You will install Magento on my www.WestHost.com account (they say it has required software preinstalled).
Using a basic template, you will get a simple demo store up and running
(3 categories, 10 products.)

I will provide sample product data, photos, categories.

I will provide a wish list of features.

You will configure settings in the Admin panel, install any necessary existing extensions and identify what features will require custom coding.

No graphic design work is needed for this demo (I want to see what is possible first).

I am only interested in experienced Magento programmers - so those are the only references/examples I want to see to make my decision. If I am happy with our relationship, you will be my first choice for helping to build the actual website.
