Hi there. I am a professional programmer with more than 6 years of experience building websites, either by using templates or from scratch. I use WordPress mainly, so I have a great understanding to it, however, this things really depend on the template as they vary greatly. I would like to take a look at the template and also know what is that you would like to do. Also, I can prepare a very detailed document for you to do everythign by yourself in the future. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks,
Daniel
