Project Splitting - revisited

I have a need to split a large project (>1000 pages) in order to speed up opening/publishing sections of the project. Many users have responded to my previous post on this - thank you. After trying several different approaches from those suggestions, I'm afraid my success has been zero: (0) (nada) (nill) (zip) (negative) (zilch) (futile) (in vain) (ineffective) (failure).
Would anyone who has had some success with project splitting be interested in taking on a paid job of splitting my project and setting up the inter-project links that are required - and documenting the process as well so it can be replicated if necessary.
The file sits at 130Meg, so a wetransfer or ftp would need to be done for the iwzip file.
Thank you - Adrian

Could you supply a link to the existing project.
I would like to see how you have structured the project.
You should be aware that when a project is splitted, then it is not possible to make a search for/in the whole project but only in the single parts in which the project is split.
By the way - did you test the splitting as you were suggested in the former post?
Did you make a project with xx subprojects?
And - What did not function?

Yes I made 5 subprojects - one for each major product group as this is where most of the pages are grouped.
Once I was in a subproject I could not get back to the main project - and i could not use the cart.

I don't run a shop myself, but I'm wondering if it can work with 1 shopping cart if the shop is divided into 5 directories.
Incomedia would have to comment on this and say whether it can work at all.
I imagine something like this:
A main project with:
Short intro of the firm
Shopping cart with all products
Index of PDF-files
In header a "hardcoded" menu:
Home (link to the main project)
Product group1 (link to sub-project1)
Product group2 (link to sub-project2)
Product group3 (link to sub-project3)
Product group4 (link to sub-project4)
Product group5 (link to sub-project5)
And then an object for the cart.
Sub-projectx
In header the "hardcoded" menu.
A way (iframe?) to show the cart-status from the main-project.
And then a menu for sub-grouping of products
The Sub-project1 contains detailed description of products. For each product could be a link to a PDF where the product is described.
Via iframe show a product-group or a product sub-group or maybe a single product. The "buy-button" should be clickable and function (?maybe).
For each product you could have a link to the detailed product description in the sub-projects.
In the main project there should still be the possibility to searc in all products and also to use the selection method like this:
So in short:
You have all the products in the main-project so all what is "bought" can be in one order and search in all products can be done - via setting the search to only show products.
The sub-projects should hold all the detailed information about products.
By using a "hardcoded" menu in all the projects will give the possibility to "jump" between all the projects.
One thing I am not sure of is: Will it be possible to show the cart-status in the sub-projects.
Does this in any way make sense to you?
If the method I describe could be a solution, I could make some test in one of my test-projects to see if what I describe is also possible. I am short of time, so I don't know when it will be possible for me to do a test.
Anyway - if what I describe is not what you need and not a way you want to go, then I will forget about it.

Thank you for the replies.
I have read something with a step that I didn't do - I will try that first and see what happens.
I may be back..... :)
