I had dolphin installed at new.cruisinstyle.com for testing and development. All modifications need to be done and saved in files that will not be overwritten when any updates to the software Dolphin.Pro 7.2.1 that the supplier may provide. I’m sure you know that but I want us to be on the same page if we proceed. I looked at all the features of Dolphin as found at https://www.boonex.com/features. I have made a “Site” map for myself to get a feel how they would translate to CSM (Cruising’ Style Magazine). When I comment NO Idea - it’s either because I don’t know what it is or I don’t know if it benefits having it on the site and I need guidance on it.
So this should give you an idea of the scope of the project and give me a bid.
