Well, after several days of grooling work, we finally have our new project up and running. All of the main sections are there and all of the links are working and everything.
This project is a great way for us to lean new CMS software that we planning on running most of our new client sites with. By using a CMS system we can help the clients cut cost of getting their sites up and running on their own.
Below is an outline of the notes that we put together for the planning of this site. Give it a read and make sure to visit http://www.thewebdesignbusiness.net !!!!
Thanks and we look forward to hearing your feedback on this project!
