Took over development of a website built using X-Cart and phpBB.

Original work was to integrate phpBB and X-Cart login mechanisms. Later removed phpBB. Retained X-Cart database legacy support. Decreased the dependency on X-Cart code throughout the project. Rewrote in php/xhtml/css. Server generation of titles, buttons, corner boxes css and thumbnails to assist rapid development and changes to the design. Virtual Earth maps. Image gallery with dynamic image loading when mousing over thumbnails.

Proceeded through multiple phases of development and continues to be extended
