Websites and Excel. Who to go to to solve my problem?

Hello all, new to this Forum.. not so very smart when it comes to excel, I joined because I have a problem and I don't know where to go to solve it. I posted this in the newcomers thread, but not sure if that was the correct place to do so.

I want to build a website. I manufacture things. I want people to answer 6 questions and be given a price for what they want online. Then have a shopping cart process the order and I get emailed the answers to the six questions and the calculated price, with the customers details.

I have a spreadsheet that calculates the price. I want to find someone who can connect the data from the 6 questions to a PHP script of numbers provided by a spreadsheet which in turn returns a price.

I understand I can build an SQL database from the output of the spreadsheet, which is takes time and is costly. I also can upload a spreadsheet to the cloud, which I do not want to, for security reasons. I also can get the spreadsheet to dump out a pile of numbers and connect those numbers via a php script to the website and give the answer. This last one I want to do as I am told this is relatively easy to do.

A friend, who is a whiz at this, did a dummy web page to demonstrate the feasibility of it but does not have the time to do it for me and I did not get any hints on where to go to find someone to do this for me.

So, here is my first enquiry on the subject. Can anyone point me to people who are skilled at this?
 
Thank you Narayan, your advice is an excellent starting point. Very little in business is free. I offered to pay my friend, he was too busy with his business.
