We're in the initial throes of changing our site to have a responsive design. Our Miva 9 store is only one component of our site (other parts include Wordpress blog, 25 static pages, a photo gallery, and a content "library"). Just to paint the picture that there's quite a mountain of work here to make all these sections look the same.
The developer we're working with is more or less saying, "you take care of the Miva stuff, I'll take care of the rest." Which means I'll need to do what it takes to make our store take on the appearance of the rest of the site. I'd rather work the other way around, start with Miva and make the rest look like it, but I'm not the final word in the matter.
I understand taking our MMUI data/customizations/etc and rebuilding that in a new CSSUI store is no small task, I've read the Miva blog on how to convert, etc.
Thanks.

- One day we will need to rebuild our store with a CSSUI store, true?
- To make our store have a responsive design, do I need to start with a CSSUI store? Over the years we've customized MMUI quite heavily, even using CSS to primarily style our pages. Is the "css" in "CSSUI" a coincidence to the name?
- In my MMUI store, I have numerous custom page templates. An example is an alternate PROD page called PROD2. Is rebuilding PROD2 in the CSSUI store a manual process, or does that happen when copying and replacing database tables?
- Is there a third party service that I can hire do the data copying from our MMUI store to the CSSUI?
- What kinds of troubles have others encountered with rebuilding a CSSUI from a MMUI store?
Thanks.
