Describe project/event/issue
After hosting a series of investigative meetings with the client, we were able to identify the elements and functionalities that would be necessary for the new Web site in order to meet the identified objectives while staying within the approved budget. These functionalities included automated forms, the implementation of an e-commerce system, the building of a community forum, the construction of a membership management system and customized content management system to name a few. We met with our design team and programmers and came up with a look, feel and structure for the Truckee Meadows Tomorrow Web site and moved forward with the programming.
