The most cost effective way to spend the tax payer money is to consolidate into one site.

I NEED A SITE I AM PROUD TO PUT ON MY WEBSITE AND SEND LINKS TO CLIENTS AND FRIENDS. I USUALLY HAVE TO SEND MY OWN PICTURES OF DOWNTOWN WHEN I INVITE THEM. I PAINT PORTRAITS AT MY STUDIO IN MATTHEWS AND OCCASIONALLY AT DILWORTH COFFEE. I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD SEND A LINK TO THE MATTHEWS SITE SO PEOPLE COULD SEE ALL THAT HAPPENS HERE ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAYS; THE FARMERS MARKET, THE HARDWARE STORE, EVENTS AT STUMPTOWN, RESTAURANTS, LITTLE SHOPS, GALLERY, ETC. I WOULD LIKE MY CLIENTS TO COME TO MATTHEWS TO HAVE THIER PORTRAITS DONE BUT ALSO TO SHOW THEM WHAT A FUN PLACE IT CAN BE TO VISIT. MAKE A DAY OF IT. YOU JUST DON'T GET THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PRESENT SITE.
