We have an online store on the OpenCart 3 platform. We sell a specific product — protective shelters (bomb shelters, shelters for private homes, etc.). The assortment includes about 100 items, each of which has (will have) a set of technical specifications (capacity, material, protection class, dimensions, and more).
The problem is that customers find it difficult to navigate and choose the right option among so many products with technical parameters. I want to simplify this process.
What I want to achieve:
A "Product Selection Assistance" feature - something like a step-by-step questionnaire (wizard). The website visitor answers a few simple questions (for example, how many people are planned to be accommodated, what are the site conditions, what is the budget, etc.), and after completing the questionnaire, the system shows a list of products that best match their answers.
Ideally, it should:
- Allow questions and answer options to be easily edited/added independently (without a programmer) through the website's admin panel.
- Show not only perfect matches but also the closest options if there is no exact equivalent.
- Ensure the selection design matches the current website design.
- Be able to be placed as a separate page or as a pop-up window (whichever is more optimal and visually appealing).
I am waiting for proposals from performers on how to best implement this - in terms of architecture, technologies, and approach. Please describe how you envision the implementation, approximate timelines, and costs. If you have done something similar, that is a big plus, and please send examples.
Thank you.
