Dawg Menus, LLC is currently seeking new web development.  Our site, www.DawgMenus.com, is a guide to dining and food in Athens, Georgia, USA, home of the University of Georgia.  We offer restaurant listings with menus, maps, and other information as well as online ordering options for our clients.  Our revenue is generated through advertisements and through our client restaurants payments for listings on the site.  We currently get about 1,000 visitors per week and expect this to triple in August.

Our office in Athens, Georgia is mainly focused on sales, and marketing the site to its users (the students and residents of Athens).  We have graphic design skills and knowledge, but extremely limited web design and programming/coding knowledge.  We currently use a webmaster for this and are looking to upgrade to a more complete service.

 The site is about 3 months old and we currently have about 15 restaurants listings.  We expect this number to double in the next month or two, and then increase slowly to a maximum of 50.  The site is build in a CMS platform (WordPress)

 We will need two things from our new web developer:

1) To function as a webmaster and update the site normally, adding restaurants pages as described above when they are contracted, and occasionally removing a restaurant page or changing an ad.  We usually operate on three month advertising cycles.  We do most of the graphic design ourselves.

2) The main thing we are looking for is web development.  We need to:

a) Improve the functionality of existing areas of the site

b) Add new functions and options to the site

·      We offer online ordering so that visitors to the site can order from local restaurants.  This involves using an online form that works with another web company to generate an automated fax.  We would be willing to continue to outsource this fax function, or if we could design our own that would work as well.  We need a complete redesign of the online ordering system to be more user-friendly and have a better, possibly graphical, interface.  The automated fax service we have now also records a digital copy of the order which it e-mails us, this serves as all of the record that we need for now.  We send the credit card information via fax to the restaurant who then processes the payment, we never directly accept money and do not need a checkout system currently.  We do however need the information for the fax order to be pretty secure since it contains credit card information.  We do not charge a fee per order to the restaurant or the site user.  It is completely free for visitors to view and use the site.

·      We need to also add a function that will place an automated, standard pre-recorded voice call to the restaurant to notify them that an order has come in via fax.  We would be willing to pay for another company to provide this service, but need to identify one and link our ordering system to it.

·      We would like to add a member log in that is optional so that users can log in before they order.  This way it can save the user’s credit card info, and other important order information such as their phone number and address.  If possible, we would like to have this member database allow users to save an order to their ‘favorites’ so that they can easily re-order the same order.

·      We would like to add a page on the navigation bar that you can view that only displays the restaurants that are currently open, based on their hours that are on the site.

·      We need to improve the search function

·      If possible, we would like an area that we can log into and upload images and information so that when we add new restaurants we can have a more streamlined way of getting the information to the web designer rather than just e-mailing all material.

·      We need to design another section of the site where Athens bars can be listed.  This section will have a main page that shows the day’s bar specials (this will need to change automatically with the day to display the current day of the week in a cycle of 7 days).
