Programmed and set up online shopping cart module to allow club to effectively sell team clothing and membership.

Testimonial
I have had the pleasure of working with Thomas Nordstrom over the past four years as our solo website technical advisor and developer for the two websites, www.flagstaffbiking.org and www.summitvelo.com. Both organizations, Flagstaff Biking Organization and Summit Velo, were not only pleased with his work but felt the final product he delivered was exceptional. Thomas is a professional website developer of the highest caliber, who meticulously researches, formats, edits and proofs his work. I've received many compliments from our members of both organizations that they enjoy the format of our websites and remark on the user friendliness of our sites.
