Role

You are an independent Web developer who is currently in the process of developing Sunholm Solar's new website. You have been making good progress, but have not yet gotten to the page describing the company's financing services, which the CFO regards as vitally important. Just as you are beginning to think about how to design this key page, you receive an urgent email summoning you to a meeting at the company, in which the CEO and CFO will describe their own ideas for the page. You will review their proposal and prepare an email in response, evaluating her design and describing what changes, if any, you would like to make to improve the design of the page.
