Smakui: an online store for home distilling and brewing equipment

Smakui manufactures and sells distilling equipment plus goods for home brewing, smoking and canning. We built their OpenCart store: a catalog with technical filters, a product page where buyers configure the kit, online calculators and a one-page checkout.

01 About the project

The range runs to hundreds of items: complete stills, boilers, columns, tri-clamp parts, home breweries, smokehouses, autoclaves and tanks. Buyers need to compare models by specs and see what comes in the kit. The goal was a catalog that makes comparison and kit building easy and ends in a simple order with delivery across Ukraine. The site runs in Ukrainian and Russian.
