The new Web site was designed to meet the specific requirements of educators who need to locate, evaluate, and purchase products for use in their schools. The site allows teachers to search for products by a multitude of combinations of criteria that best match their teaching styles and classroom needs.

"We knew that it would be important for our Web developer to understand the intricacies of our product offering and how educators think when they evaluate and purchase materials for their schools," said Rachel Graham Burner, Online Marketing Manager for NGS School Publishing. "What we couldn't anticipate was how quickly Cuesta would grasp our challenges and devise solutions for them. Cuesta really knows this market and delivered a fabulous product on schedule and on budget."

"Remaining true to our roots in Education, Cuesta continues to focus on providing expert services to educational publishers," said Monty Swiryn, president of Cuesta Technologies. "Now in our tenth year, we are extremely gratified to be selected by a high profile publisher like National Geographic. Their confidence in us is rewarding as we strive to work with the best in the industry."
