Need developer to create clone site without Subenza and convert current framework

[sherryachi]

Our current website is outdated and we need to remove the Subenza Category Template Manager before we are able to update our software to Miva 10. We are worried removing Subenza will alter the look of the website, so we are searching for a developer to create a clone site without Subenza to test what the site will look like.

Additionally, we are looking to convert our current website framework. We are currently using the Miva Merchant Look & Feel ("MMUI") framework and would like to change it to the current CSSUI framework.

We are looking for a developer to help us with these tasks. If you are interested PM me or contact [email protected].

Thank you,
Olivia

sherryachi by the sounds of it you're probably best to ask Miva for a new dev site and use the default Shadows2 theme. Then export and import your products and categories, change a few colors and golive with that. Then make a new Miva 10 branch and develop the custom functionality you require on that branch. Just for curiosity what is the Web site URL?

Might be more difficult than that Colin. First, AFAIK, you have to run an MMUI to CSSUI conversion, THEN apply the new framework. Even doing that, we've had a number of issues creep up. We generally recommend starting from a Blank Miva 10 site, exporting / importing product data, and then depending on needs, importing the Order Data. That last part is tricky and we've always relied on (and he may hate me for recommending--this task tends to make him grumpy) Scott from southbound.com ([email protected]). He has some high level tools to help automate this task.

Yup, you're right, and that's what I meant. Start fresh and tx data. :)
