Development Overview

The application that powers ultimategearreview.com was written using Django with MySQL as it's database. Django was chosen after evaluating several options (primarily Drupal and Zend Framework). The layout (HTML, CSS) of the site had already been developed by another party and it was my contention that the path of least resistance would be to leave as much of that unchanged as possible.
