How hard is Codeigniter?
I have a ecommerce website in progress. The developer said lets use Code igniter and I said they know better than me. After a year of scrambling, everytime something is fixed or added something else gets off track, I've asked other developers to look at it. They recommend rebuilding it, one said Magento. because so many links are not working or pictures are off page, things are out of track, etc. The site is built but things are not correct on it, such as text running into pictures, no margins between images, some links don't work, etc.
It was originally built on Wordpress and that developer goofed it up so custom was recommended vs something that you just add plugins and your site is complete. But I just cant figure it out now because it's a large site but every developer I keep hiring keeps goofing things up, so any recommendation would be helpful.

I do not like any "framework" based system - if a developer really knows what they are doing, they are creating all the main site code themselves.
However, for some standard functions like e-commerce, there is no point re-inventing the wheel - just use a standard ready-built package.
I'd advise starting from scratch, but using Zencart rather than Magento.
It is totally free and has a massive and really helpful online community.
I've used it for our business for several years without any problems.
Starting from nothing, you can have a fairly well customised site up and running within two or three days.
(Or possibly a week with no html experience)
After that, all admin tasks and stock additions etc. are purely via it's web interface.
