Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am utilizing this product at a small (5-person) non-profit company. And, while this may be a significant cost upfront, we are already seeing the return. I've taken two online courses through our local community college which were helpful for me to brush up my skills. InDesign and Dreamweaver are the two software I use most. Great service and delivery, and nice to see a bit of a reduced cost as this software is typically not discounted.
