ah, ya'll do my hot-head so much good!
the site was basic html, no design, anyway -- i'll facelift it tonight -- i
mean, right now, all links are off home and to move around you have to keep
backing up. duh.
and useless animations.
so improvement will NOT be difficult.
even given Suz's comments about copyright (yes, i can spell when i'm not
mad), this is extremely *unprofessional* conduct.
not to mention that the developer has breached contract by NOT maintaining
the site -- it hasn't been updated since july, despite repeated requests for
updates. and my friend was told *she* can't update the info because the
developer created it on a mac and she has a PC. can you believe it?
