We have an e-commerce website under development that is built on the Xcart shopping cart engine. The stock checkout process was poorly conceived and we need a top notch coder who is expert in Xcart (and specifically Smarty templates) to re-program and implement a checkout process that makes sense. The Xcart software is already tied into USPS webtools for real-time shipping quotes. I can provide detailed mockups of the desired checkout sequence to be developed and implemented.
