[LUG] Any open cart Gurus on the list?

 

Hi all 
I want to help some friends with their site selling Cornish Beer &
Cider, I have smoothed out some problems with an existing site and upped
sales by 4 fold but have a need to bring it "up to date" as far as
shopping carts go and style with all the different display devices (Mobs
Tabs Ipads Desktops etc). So I have looked at Open Cart and It may do
what we want without reinventing the current site from scratch. But I
cant see beyond a dilemma which is needing a Sub cart system where a
customer selects 12 bottles from a selection of say 100, puts them in a
"Case" then adds the Case to their Shopping cart. Each Case is just one
Fixed price plus a fixed Delivery charge per case. It kinda works on
http://www.cornish-bottled-beer.co.uk/beer-and-cider.php with fudges but
is not user friendly to change or update.
 I have asked this question in the OC forum and of 2 distinct developers
for OC but had no real response.   I can supply the current php files
which do the job if someone would quote for working on the extension. It
could be resold on the OC extensions site if it proved popular.
 OpenCart uses a form of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern, which
I have yet to get to grips with and I hope the site owners don't need to
learn, as it's quite easy to get a Store running with basic knowledge.
