[consulting] Keeping Web Sites Updated

[Matt Chapman]

George,

If the links in your signature represent the kinds of organizations
you work with, they may be interested in a solution like:

http://www.UnionProWebsites.com

A hosted solution, turned to the organizations 'vertical',  where
maintenance of the 'underlying machinery' is included in a low monthly
fee is probably ideal for small organizations that don't have IT
personnel on staff or under contract.

All the Best,

Matt Chapman
