So a friend has tasked me with updating their site - they've got an existing standalone content management system which comprises of:

-simple blog
-multi-stage quote system
-worldpay integration

I want to move them onto Wordpress; how easy will it be to implement and plug in the existing functionality?

Obviously the blog can go but the quoting and payment system needs to stay and has its own backend to change products/prices etc.

I'm a c# developer and have only had limited experience with wordpress so please bear with me! :p Thanks
 
You could always opt for WP e-commerce which has a gateway already implemented for WorldPay? Would just be a matter of adding the products back in. You can import the product list from XML using WP e-commerce also, but that would depend on how you could output the content from the old site.
 
You may find a decent base theme over at themeforest. I know there are ones for e-commerce and ones with quoting systems in, so the functionality exists. You may need to piece it together in one installation. Have a google for quotation plugins and ecommerce for WP and see what you come up with. Ideally you'd find an ecommerce system that integrates with a quotation plugin, or has the functionality built in.
 
I'll take a look at WP e-commerce and see if i can find a quotation system to match - the product itself is very simple and there are only a handful of variations.

Thanks for the replies guys.
