We are looking for a Web Developer to implement an already XHTML 1.0 Strict coded, complete website in the Interspire Shopping Cart Ultimate.

Box functionality It will need to be implemented in such a way that the source code modifications are kept to a minimum, well documented, so the upgrade process is as seamless as possible.
