Sara Clark, Web Coordinator, announced the Web Services team is now ready to take job requests. They are available for:

• Web form creation in Acrobat or HTML, depending on client needs
• Web site development, including design and conversion
• Programming for dynamic web applications and projects

The Web Services team is much like Printing Services and charges $40 per hour for development. Any web form job that takes less than fifteen minutes will be free of charge. They will not charge for any meetings or time spent learning new software or programming techniques. More information can be found on the Web Services web site.
