Schnapp Dragon Distilleries (2008/2009/2010)

Originally a small website / online store for an organic distillery with custom MS Access / ADO database driven shopping cart content on a Microsoft IIS Server. The database was also used to power a product catalogue. However, due to several problems encountered under IIS / ADO / Access and security issues the site was transferred to a Linux / Apache server and the database was transfered from ADO / Access to MySQL through a CSV adapter file which all worked much better. Additionally this site was been rebranded about 3 times for various reasons, the current screenshot represents the most recent edits.
