Below are a few sample sites that I've worked on.

Added "contact" and "add to mailing list" forms. Implemented payment by PayPal when class series (as opposed to ongoing classes) are being offered. The class location and some features of the classes are listed below the left-hand navigation column on every page as reminders to visitors and for improved SEO. |
