Summary:

Our client is a member of the board of PFSP and was unprepared for the work required to develop this web site with us. (She has her own business and has little extra time.) Their group was started by Kathy who has to OK everything and who made herself unavailable during this semester leaving us with little input from their group. PFSP had little content (only 11 paragraphs and some links) and gave us filler to make the pages we did. They are planning on generating content for the site this summer and then completing the site on their own. They really expressed little interest in working with us, instead just wanted us to develop a site with links which they could add to and change as they develop the site on their own. I will look into the dropdown menu but we haven't seen any problems with it. Will also look at the calendar to make sure it is working. I do hope the group likes the site and uses it in the future.
