Web Design Brief

Please see www.glassboxguy.com for the basics. I am a glass artist who sells to retail market (art shows and e-commerce) as well as wholsale to art galleries nation wide. My site needs to serve both types of customer. I did the basics years ago, but now it's old and outdated . I need to totally rework the site, adding functionality as well as a new look.
My criteria are:

1. Need e-commerce page (cart) that allows for the rapid uploading of new artwork for my retail market.

2. Need separate login/e-commerce page for my wholesale customers as well as different pricing.

3. Need zip code lookup to show locations of current galleries.

4. Need registration page to collect customer emails/addresses for net marketing (constant contact).

5. Design should be neutral background since I want to highlight to vivid colors of my work.

6. Site should be easy to navigate.

7. I need to have control of adding content to site as needed (new photos, events, etc.)

8. Need page to list upcoming schedule and event dates.

9. Need all the pages and content from old site, with some revisions to be determined after general design is complete.

...Any suggestions on how to make my site more interesting and functional are welcomed!!

Question to all...I just remembered that I have already search engine optimized my site using all the appropriate meta tags and photo names,  text, etc. for the search terms "glass boxes" and "mosaic mirrors." I am number 1 in google search results of these terms. I need this to not change. Will redesigning my site affect this?
