Coder needed to help finish job: E-commerce - Cubecart, PHP, MYSQL

Hello - I am a graphic artist and web site designer (very small php/coding knowledge) who has been working with a coder/programmer on some of my more robust jobs (anything requiring code like a shopping cart, etc.) This is for an e-commerce job - the site appears to be a hacked up version of Cubecart, renamed. Hopefully that is only cosmetic. The original coder has disappeared, leaving me hi & dry on the job. Luckily the majority of the work is done- the products are in and things seem to be working somewhat smoothly but I am by no means 100% happy with it and want to get this thing out right. The old coder basically used cubecart but hacked it up and renamed the cart so i am hoping it's only cosmetic there and nothing outside the box (should be good from what I can tell). I would like to get an idea of cost of having an expert helping me out on a few things vs. sitting in the trenches for a few days and doing it myself. I have a pretty good market of small business clients in my town and I wouldn't mind be able to offer these options again, so if I can find someone I can develop a solid professional relationship with I'd be pretty happy and it'd be pretty good for both of us. Please message me for the details and I'll try my best to answer any questions. thanks for your time! ## Deliverables Here's what i need: - a new skin.... a simple but clean layout-- will go into detail upon interest. For the most part I can design any graphics, just help putting it all together with the CSS and looking good. - help with the payment gateway-- making sure it runs smooth and is secure. - Adding an option to add "custom engraving". This is for a trophy company, and we'd like to be able to allow the customers to add in a few lines of text on their orders. Better yet if we could actually SEE the trophy with the new text that would be awesome, but not a major hold up. ## Platform n/a
