    I am running a family web site www.woodenflooringsales.com it is becoming difficult to find products and keep changes in pack sizes and prices up to date, i would like to turn the site into a data base, the problem is the site was not built a a uniform manner, all the sizes are all formatted differently, i have been looking at software but it looks like quite a difficult job.

    Does anyone know of a simple software or an expert who can do it for a good price i have been looking at web scraper+ but i know very little about data bases.

    you'll probably have to do it all manually.

    your website is way too stuffed with keywords imo

    your site is built from php pages, surely all your products are already in a database? if that is the case, I am guessing that what you really want is to have a front-end so that you can make changes to product details. maybe go to the php section and ask for a quote for a front-end?

    you need to revamp the site and create some panel where you input the desired data. having database tables with predefined data types is the key.

    Yes, this is right. Your site is running in PHP> which shows that you have already db in there. May be ask that concerned person who is the administrator of that website. There should exist any admin panel which will ease your pain.
