Great site - inspiring actually.  I've just returned from a skiing holiday in Japan - Hakuba, Happo One.  Had a great time, and really enjoyed discovering the fantastic variety of sake. Every region has its own distinct version.  Here in Australia, the range of sake is very limited, although with the amount of Aussies going to Japan for skiing, I think you're definately on a winner if you can cater and market for the beer-turned-sake drinkers of Oz.

Your site should be a DNN showcase winner.

Well done.

I mixed up versions, we launched with 4.9.1.

 

I agree we have a lot of SEO work to do on the site, and that is what we will be spending most of the next week doing.

 

The menu is from RAD and we use their text editor as a core provider.  App Theory provided the News, Blog (articles), and text/Html, modules.  Other than Catalook running our ecommerce, the site is all core.  Of course, we had some custom development, but most of it centered on a custom profile, the sake selector, and an integrated rating and comment system.

 

Regarding the skin, it is 100% custom.  We found an independent designer whom we thought shared our design goals, however he had no experience with DNN or our ecommerce engine.  There were hurdles overcoming gaps between design and practical functionality, but App did a really good job.  About 95% of the original design was incorporated into the skin.

FYI  When clicking checkout as a visitor (not logged in) I recieved this error.

A critical error has occurred.
Input string was not in a correct format.

Beautiful site.  Would you mind listing all of the module you are using?

Uffda, good catch... comming from the club page...  We need to fix that.

Very nice looking site that you have there!  One other recommendation on the SEO side of things, you might want to look into UrlMaster to get nicer looking URLs.
