The Prairie Club Website
Tagged with: CMS • flash site conversion • flash to html • graphic design • image editing • photo editing • WebsiteThe goal for The Prairie Club project was to take their existing flash website and site functionality, and convert it into an SEO friendly HTML website with a custom built content management system.
