Website Redesign and Development

# WordPress & WooCommerce Developer Needed for Food Ordering Website We are looking for an **experienced WordPress and WooCommerce developer** to improve, fix, and optimise our online food-ordering website. We currently operate two websites: * **A&Z Fish & Chips** — azfishnchips.co.uk * **Loose Pizza** — loosepizza.co.uk Both websites are built using **WordPress and WooCommerce**. Currently, customers visit the A&Z Fish & Chips website but are redirected to Loose Pizza to place and complete their orders. Our goal is to **combine the two websites into one simple, reliable, modern, and easy-to-use food-ordering website**. We do not want a complete rebuild unless it is genuinely necessary. Existing products, orders, customer data, and important WooCommerce functionality must be preserved. ## Main Requirements ### 1. Combine the Two Websites * Recommend the best approach for combining the two existing websites into one. * Preserve existing WooCommerce products, orders, customer information, and important functionality. * Avoid unnecessary rebuilding. * Ensure existing URLs, SEO, and redirects are handled correctly where appropriate. * The final website should provide a smooth and straightforward ordering experience. ### 2.

Time slot available existing site just customer cant place out of opening time. ### 6. Thermal Receipt Printer / Automatic Order Printing This is an important requirement.
