This has been posted for any people looking at Codecharge for use in their business but are resisting because they may not have any programming experience.
We had just merged with another company and a new site had to be created on a budget. We received a few quotes and we were looking at 10k for all the bells and whistles for a dynamic site, that we could maintain ourselves. Whatever we did in the short term was to be temporary until everyone was happy with cash flow again.
As a Draftsperson I was hesitant but off I went...... I created the database in mysql and created a backend to manage the content for each page and project information. Everyone in the office has access to the creation of project data and then submit for approval for publishing. The bosses review all of the content submitted and with the click of the button will publish and make changes to any content on the site.
While it technically does not compare to any of the quoted designs I found my boss' happy and tickled that they could change the content at any time. Its not quite finish, but what site ever is?
Thanks to contributors to the forums your help was priceless, along with Codecharge @ $500. I now have $9500 to spend on something else.

Excellent job. Looks great. Very clean and relatively intuitive.
One suggestion... try optimizing your image sizes so the pages load faster.
The home page image (200709111338020.1823_Archipelago_002.jpeg), for example is 405 Kb and, if resized, can be brought down to 58 kb. Some of the other images suffer in similar ways (too big and slow when downloading).
Otherwise, though, congrats!
Michael

Thanks for the feedback. I was a bit slow in setting the file upload size after development. This has been resolved and all images have been resized.
