It has most of the information. Our pitfall is maintaining the site.
Easy to maneuver. Feel it has an attractive look. Good information.
Just had it revamped and not up to our standards. Difficult time finding a web developer.
No pictures, not user friendly…we are in the process of a complete overhaul
