Web Designer and Developer for Online Travel Site

We are looking for a front/back-end web designer and developer to take over the final development of our e-commerce travel website. The online portal is 75% complete but we need some final work on the Database / Mark-up Table to complete the project. In addition, some final API integration of the advertising and travel insurance products is necessary. Once this project is completed there may be additional work available to develop and clean up the other travel products (Hotel, Rental Car, Vacation Packages etc.).

Applicant must be proficient in Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop and must be able to make design changes via FTP to the CSS. A strong knowledge of SEO is also necessary as we will be building stand-alone HTML pages (not WordPress) that must be able to integrate into the structure of the current website and be picked up by all Search Engines. Once the initial Airfare Booking Portion is completed, we will begin work on creating the Design, HTML and CSS for the Hotel portion of the website, so the position may evolve into full-time work if interested. We also will be building a WordPress blog in the future.

Programmer must also be proficient with API / XML schemas to integrate 3rd party products (insurance and advertising) into the Results Page and Shopping Cart. Individual will also take over the MySQL / DB portion of the project that involves modifying a "Fare table" GUI and DB which allows us to add mark-ups to the Airfare Booking Engine. Knowledge of E-commerce is essential as this is a transactional website with shopping cart functionality. Additional knowledge of CSS, HTML and J-query is a plus.
