Assistance to launch Joomla 1.5 site

This project requires a very proficient Joomla 1.5 developer.

What I require is hands on assistance to launch the redesigned version of this website [url removed, login to view]

The development url for the new version in Joomla 1.5 is [url removed, login to view]

I am using the Solar Sentinel template from [url removed, login to view]

Here's what requires troubleshooting and assistance once the domain is pointed to the new server:

1. 301 redirect script (Have installed ReDj)

Issue: I can't populate the urls until I have turned on SEo Friendly urls and renamed the htaccess file

2. Install Google Analytics Script successfully on all pages

(Issue - site needs to be using [url removed, login to view] domain for the analytics to be installed)

3. Old site requires a major back up

4. Current server of development site - I question it's power and concerned that site could be slow

I wonder if there's a way of testing it.

5. I need for someone to look at the extensions I've got installed on the site and confirm that they

will all continue to work once the domain is changed.

6. I am using the SOBI2 Directory extension and I see that it requires users to 'log in' if they want to add their listing. I am not clear on how to enable this logging in and want to make sure its working prior to launch.

My preferences - I would like to launch the site on Saturday January 23rd. I would like to be advised on what can be done to ease the transition before that time and make a plan with the Joomla Expert.

When we switch the domain I want to work with the person in day time hours so we can deal with any fires

together once the [url removed, login to view] domain is pointed to the new servers.

It should be a pretty exciting project! I don't expect many hang ups - I can do a lot of the leg work (like the 301 redirects etc) but I really need an expert who can quickly tell me what needs to happen and the step by step process.
