We are in the process of designing the websites right now. The home pages have been approved and the tier pages are being designed now. The two sites are basically the same with some minor differences. The content for each site will be different. There is a Login area that is shared by both sites.
Ideally, each website would share the database that houses the login content with each site maintaining its own design.
We are going to have 3 different types of registered users:
Customers
Suppliers
Employees
Depending on the login credentials, each user type will only see their menu of items. In other words, Customers will see:
Customers
Trade Tools
Newsletter
Contact Us
Connecticut Beverage Journal
Suppliers will see:

One of our template pages needs to utilize frames. We would provide a header and footer but the middle frame would be a third-party site.
The home pages will include a slideshow. We want the user to be able to navigate the slideshow.
Finally, we have a mySQL database that resides on a separate server. If we provide access to this database via phpMyAdmin, can you connect these two website to that database. What we are trying to accomplish is something like this: If a supplier is logged in and clicks on the Monthly Depletion report, the data for that report is housed on this other server in a mySQL database. The reports are generated on the fly based on the users ID. This is the same ID that we are going to have the users register in Joomla with so we will already know the ID if they are logged in. Can we pass that ID to this other server and generate the appropriate report?
This is a project that programing is scheduled to begin next week. Can you let me know if you can handle this project, how long it will take and the cost. Thanks.
