Re: AIS Website

["Deatons" <deatons@earthlink.net>]

Hi John,

I think the AIS website is used PRIMARILY by AIS members/affiliate club
members.  The second largest group would be people interested in finding out
more information about irises/nearby clubs/gardens.  So, our website should
be configured to accomodate these two groups most of all.

Generally, I find our website easy to use, compared to some other websites
that I've visited, but here again, I don't visit many websites.  EBAY is a
nightmare for me!!!  Then again, I'm really a total baby when it comes to
the internet!

Hope this information helps.
Cheryl
