Completion & maintenance of OpenCart website. This website has an integrated online designer (similar to a design your own T-Shirt designer) that we use for designing number plate frames. This also needs completion and maintenance.

This project was taken to 90% completion. Unfortunately our developers had other priorities and were no longer interested in developing their product to a customer functional standard. They are offshore based from Australia and we have no legal recourse to force a finish.
We are primarily business guys with a workable knowledge of IT and looking for a long term partner than can help us get this project finished and to offer a monthly maintenance agreement to maintain and enhance the product.
The site is currently hosted on Host Gator. The only resources/work the developer left us with is what we have on the hosting site. It is a fully working OpenCart/Designer site but we are not qualified to say if it contains all the code needed to finish/change the integrated designer. That will need to be determined. The designer (particularly creation of design output files) may have to be re-coded.
Once a customer designs a product the OpenCart has a provision in the ADMIN to download the design file to be used for printing the design. The designer used a combination of PNG & SWF to create the design and the output unzipped to a JSX file and includes an Adobe Illustrator file that is opened via llustrator open scripts.
There was clearly a connection between our hosted site and processing of output through a server controlled by the developer. Creating a design produces an order with what was once a downloadable file. Trying to download now produces a "page not found" rather than a zipped file that contained a .jsx and Ai file.
The developer was attempting to change the design output to PDF .....that was abandoned.
The OUTPUT file for printing is critical for us. We may get hundreds per day and as such cannot spend time in fixing up customers designs. The OUTPUT challenges:
1 The actual product we are designing to is approximately 550mm x 150mm. The OUTPUT needs to match that dimension at 200 DPI.
2 Ideally we would like this designer to work on an iPad. Using SWF in the process may cause Apple issues.
3 All customer colour selection (colour box's) are currently HEX colours. The current OUTPUT file when opened in Illustrator is in RGB mode. Converting to print ready CMYK changes those base colours dramatically. The customers will notice the difference between what they see and what they get. We would like to explore a better colour management framework.
To work with this project you may also need knowledge and experience with:
Online designers/designer output
Shopping carts/designer integration
Adobe Illustrator or similar
Please contact us if you feel that you have the necessary skills to work with us on this project. Once we select a partner we can arrange a Skype screen sharing session at a time that suits us both.
We are Sydney, Australia time.
We are planning for an additional 20 franchisees/partners that will also use the system and require maintenance and help from our support partner.
This will be a great business for a longer term income for both you and us IF we can get it right.
