Thus, the organization has been awarded stimulus dollars in the form of a business development grant that it will receive in the upcoming year and now needs to decide where to spend it.There is an opportunity to grow the local economy by improving ticket sales to local attractions using an online store. The board is looking to refresh the current website and update the online store. Specifically, the board is requesting:

1. A new website with a modern look that is engaging and promotes the local attractions.

2. The online shopping experience should be user-friendly and pleasing for customers.

3. A good percentage of visitors to the website should buy tickets and lots of them.
