165291 House Plan Website

I need a site similar to [login to view URL] , it should have all the functionality as well as an order management and trackig system. Would be great if the order tacking could be output to quickbooks. Would also be a plus if the whole site could be done in joomla, let me know what you propose. I do need full cms control of the front page. The house plan search feature is very important, the good sites have a limited search as well as a full features search, look at [login to view URL] for more examples of features needed.
