We're back! Northwest Gold Coast e-newsletter went on hiatus from April through November 2007 so that the staff at Cascade e-Commerce Solutions, Inc. could respond to significant business growth. During that time staff took courses through flightline.highline.edu/cel/ in XHTML, CSS and Dreamweaver, developed new services for existing clients and increased capacity to add new clients.
