The new platform not only makes content update and management much easier, it sets her site up for some exciting additions and enhancements for years to come.

As part of the redesign, we converting the previously static pages into a full-fledged ExpressionEngine site, and also installed a video player, interactive gallery, online publication section, and a Google map mashup.
