I had a chance to review the new website in detail today and all I can say is AMAZING!! It has come together very nicely. The flash is great, the recording on the "About Rotary" page is a nice touch, and the membership listing is great, just to name a few. All in all it is very well done!! I wanted to share my excitement and enthusiasm with our membership on the wonderful work you have done on behalf of our club. The website is extraordinary and we have only you to thank. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have the greatest regard for Frederick's business acumen. This was proven by the success he made of the business he established in South Africa and managed effectively until it was sold.
Prof Dr Brian P Botha, School of Public Management and Administration – University of Pretoria
Fred Hefer at CSL Solutions listened carefully to my needs and immediately suggested multiple ways to help my non-profit optimize its online presence and succeed in fundraising. The website that CSL Solutions developed represents a quantum leap from our old website in terms of visual appeal, functionality, and effectiveness. Moreover, it provides the user with a delightful experience. I highly recommend CSL Solutions for their experience, skill, and creativity!
