PageantCast Website of the Week
This week for the Website of the Week, I bring to you a personal website. This is the website of a lady I met last year competing at the Mrs. International competition in Chicago almost a year ago.
Ginny Meerman has an interesting website with a very attractive and elegant design. It has multiple feeds of new information drawn throughout the web’s content streams.
I tend to not love Flash websites. They are usually, well, too Flashy. This design is a little less so and allows for the quick ability to find what you need…which is usually the Achilles Heel of Flash websites.
Ginny is currently Mrs. Maryland United States and she appears to be having a good time and has a good time having appearances!
