The manager, Sam McGinley, decided on an online store to sell products. We worked out that Zencart was the best option, and began customisation of the system for their purposes, including modifying CSS and HTML, internal configuration of the Zencart installation and creation of a custom banner for the store.
Not only that, we set up a photographic studio upstairs to photograph the products, and then to add them to the system for sale.
Finally, they decided they needed a newsletter system to communicate with their customers. We set-up a Mailman mailing list, configured so that all they have to do when they want a newsletter is to send an email message to a specific email address. This is then distributed to the mailing list.
