Web Site Design and Programming
I am currently contracting with Rainbow Creations for the setup and maintenance of their commercial web site and
online ordering system. The site setup and programming was completed in just over a month because of deadlines
with the existing provider going out of business. By modifying commercially available shopping cart software to
fit the site owner's special circumstances, an effective and cost efficient solution was quickly implemented.
The site features an intuitive, fast loading user interface with over 400 categorized products available for online
viewing and ordering.
