The storefront website was built for an antique dealer in England, Southampton I believe.  The programmer was a newly arrived immigrant from England.  The place was Mumford Bed and Breakfast and the reason I was there was to talk to the owners about a marketing concept.  The topic turned to web design and soon I was learning about content management systems for managing inventory.  I soon forgot about my marketing idea and turned my attention to selling a storefront applications.

http://fundygrinding.com was the first storefront cms.  http://bayhammocks.com was the second storefront (built on DotNetNuke).  Now anyone wanting to manage: accounts, contacts, inventory, get up proposals, quotes, invoices, packing slips and purchase orders can do so with relative ease.
