Senior Web Developer / Web Agency Needed – Build a High-End Printing & Signage E-Commerce Website

About Us Print & Sign Phuket is a rapidly growing printing and signage company based in Phuket, Thailand. We specialize in premium printing solutions for businesses and individuals, including business cards, stickers, signage, banners, menus, decals, large-format printing, branding, graphic design, and much more. We have recently invested in premium industrial printing equipment and are now looking for a long-term development partner to build the foundation of our online platform. This is not a one-time website project. We are looking for someone who can become our long-term technology partner as we continue to expand. What We Want to Build We want a modern, fast, conversion-focused e-commerce website that allows customers to browse products, customize them, upload artwork, order online, and pay online. The website should be designed primarily for the Phuket market but built with the ability to expand throughout Thailand and internationally in the future. Our priorities are: * Excellent user experience * Fast loading speed * Strong SEO * High conversion rate * Easy administration * Scalable architecture Important We are not committed to a specific platform. Shopify is an option if you believe it is the best solution and can significantly reduce development time. WordPress/WooCommerce, custom development, Next.js, Laravel, or any other solution are also welcome. We expect you to recommend the platform you believe is best for this project and explain why. We are looking for expertise, not someone who simply follows instructions. Website Requirements General * Modern corporate design * Premium feel * Mobile-first * Extremely fast loading * Fully responsive * English and Thai (additional languages later) * SEO-friendly architecture * Blog * Portfolio * Contact page * Quote request page Products Approximately 100 products initially. Products will be organized into categories similar to leading online printing companies. Each product may have options such as: * Size * Material * Finish * Lamination * Quantity * Production speed * Additional customization Pricing should update dynamically based on selected options. Some products should allow immediate purchase. Other highly customized products should automatically switch to a quotation request. Artwork Upload Customers should be able to: * Upload multiple files * Upload files up to at least 500 MB * Add production notes * Upload common print formats Checkout * Guest checkout * Customer accounts * Stripe * PromptPay * Bank transfer Admin Panel We want to manage everything ourselves without requiring a developer. Including: * Products * Categories * Pricing * Product options * Images * Orders * Customers * Coupons * Homepage content * Landing pages * Blog * SEO settings * Reports * Analytics SEO SEO is one of the highest priorities. The website should be built using SEO best practices from day one, including: * Excellent Core Web Vitals * Fast page speed * Clean URL structure * Structured data * XML sitemap * Image optimization * Editable metadata * Technical SEO best practices Experience with local SEO is a strong advantage. Future Scalability Although this project is an MVP, the architecture should allow future expansion with features such as: * Customer portal * Order tracking * Production workflow * FlowAccount integration * CRM integration * AI-powered quotation assistant * Wholesale/B2B accounts * Loyalty program * Marketing automation * Additional languages * Multiple branches Timeline We are looking to begin immediately. A fast turnaround is very important, but not at the expense of quality. Please provide your estimated timeline. Long-Term Relationship We are looking for someone who can continue working with us after launch for: * New features * Improvements * Maintenance * Performance optimization * SEO * Ongoing development To Apply Please include all of the following in your proposal: 1. Your three best e-commerce websites. 2. Similar websites you have built (especially printing, manufacturing, or product customization if applicable). 3. Which platform you recommend for this project and why. 4. Why you believe your recommendation is the best long-term solution. 5. Fixed-price estimate. 6. Hourly rate. 7. Estimated timeline. 8. Development milestones. 9. Who will work on the project. 10. Your experience with SEO. 11. Your approach to website performance optimization. 12. Your approach to website security. 13. What post-launch support you offer. 14. Any recommendations or improvements you believe would make this project even better. Final Note We are looking for experienced professionals who can contribute ideas and challenge our assumptions when appropriate. If you see a better way to build something, tell us. We’re interested in building the best solution, not simply following a specification. This project has the potential to grow significantly, and we’re looking for a long-term partner who wants to grow with us.
