Select Delivery Date Calendar feature

[hammer]

Eight years ago we suggested Shopsite add an integrated delivery date calendar where the customer can select a date for delivery while also allowing the merchant to easily manage blackout dates and cancellation dates due to weather etc. Now as we begin planning a redesign using a responsive theme, there is a new call for an integrated calendar.

We sell perishable items that are shipped overnight and the customer is required to select a delivery date. We currently use a popup javascript calendar on the cart page. But I am getting pressure from client to have a more prominent calendar displayed that is more user friendly. They also want to be able to manage their own blackout dates rather than having me do it by adding it to the code. As we are in the process of preparing for a redesign to use a responsive theme, there is also concern about our current calendar and how it is going to display on ipad, iphones etc.

Thanks.
