Thanks to Factor 360 and Dennis Ryckman...
for consulting Pierre Players about migrating it's website. Factor 360 has developed a "CMS" style web site management platform that PPCT is now using. The CMS takes away the need for 3rd party software to develop and maintain a website. The CMS is truly user friendly and offers many great tools to help PPCT keep in touch and tell it's story.
Thanks again Dennis for all you've done to help get PPCT up and running on the CMS!
