We are a small trucking company (28 trucks & 40 trailers) out of Brownsville, TX. We have been in business for about 5 years, and have over 100 years of combined experience together as a leadership team.
We would love someone to design this with some experience with the transportation industry, but it's not required. But we do need a website up (that is responsive & very mobile friendly at every turn) to both attract brokers and shippers, as well as attracting drivers to work for us. So two main goals of the website: 1) attract customers, 2) attract employees.
1 - Customers
// Needs area to tell about company & leaders
// Needs area to tell about achievements & guarantees
// Needs area to inquire for more information (contact form), maybe with map to current location.
2 - Employees
// Needs area to tell about company & leaders (depending on how you set the site up, can be the same as the one created for customers)
// Needs area to explain pay & benefits, including time on road & time away
// Needs area to inquire for more information
// Needs area to apply for a job - multi page application, that can be saved and finished at a later time. It needs to be super secure, & very easy to use. Backend needs to be able to see unfinished applications. (I have attached our current paper application for you to look at).
3 - A desire for me as well would be an online portal that employees could log into, where I could upload their trip settlements (basically the workings of their paycheck), and they could download it. Maybe also post messages to them. This could be something for a later date though if adding this to a project increases the price too much.
The code needs to be well documented/notated, and easy to read/make updates to.
I already have a hosting account on GoDaddy, and would like to keep it there. I am willing to purchase more, & security certificates, if necessary.
