Rainbow Tourism shaping up.

Almost a month ago, I wrote about the website we are building for Rainbow Tourism, it's a directory of gay friendly places to stay, well the site isn't quite live yet, but it's getting close now, only about 2 weeks to launch date.

A lot of things have happened in less than a month with this business relationship with Rainbow Tourism, besides making this site dynamic and a CMS, (means the owner of the site can make webpages, and doesn't have to know anything about webdesign) now all the listings are searchable, and the site is more manageable generally.

Though doing this project, we have met a wonderful American programmer/coder called Andrew, we started out with an Indian company doing the site, but things didn't work out, and we found Andrew, who can do any coding that we can't do, and the bonus is he's a very fast worker, he has good prices, and he speaks English, no more making pictures for every step of the process of building a very large website.

And if that isn't enough, he's a really nice guy, we have had him do four other small projects, as well as building the rainbow site right from the start.

My skills from the old days of owning the Canz Stock Photo Bank, are really helping me now, and the training of data entry staff, I did then, have proved invaluable for training staff now, to load all the listings into this new Tourism Site.

My arm is to sore to type anymore, it's been a hard month, See yah.
