It's not like we can get a refund from the developers at this point, so it seems this change is inevitable.
well I guess changing the design (front-end) shouldn't be a big deal we can keep the backend as as it is and just change the design to be responsive at least.

anyway easier said than done being a programmer i know how nasty it can get while changing the whole systems.
