After the initial meeting we continued the discussions via email. The next time we met, we were shown 3 different website designs. Running Fish was great as picked and chose what things worked for us.

After our 2nd meeting some of the team attended one of our events so they could see first hand what we do and if the site is speaking to that. We finalized the website design about a week after that. The site was launched within a day and has been running smoothly since.
