Creating our own template system - help required

Templating system Hi there. We are creating our own 'sitebuilder' project and we're wanting help from someone who is VERY familiar with existing templating systems for the design of sites. We are NOT talking about programming templating, but the creation of design themes. Example templating systems are: Wordpress Themes ([login to view URL]) Magento Themes ([login to view URL]) Shopify Themes - [login to view URL] Joomla ([login to view URL]) What we want is someone who is very familiar with how these (and others) work and who can suggest a *best* way to take things forward and to create our own theme/template system. Our ideals are: 1) To be able to edit as much in the CSS as possible to change the design 2) If using tagging to keep it simple 3) To make the easiest system for designers to manage to create templates that just work with our systems. What we need is someone who can demonstrate that they have a great knowledge of these systems and who can provide us with consultancy to create a framework for our own. We're looking for signposting and help primarily. This is not for someone to do any programming or design but to act as a consultant for us How does that sound? Look forward to hearing from you Ade ## Deliverables 1) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
