It really takes a village. Its not just myself. The team you see here, all flt Small Business leaders and some of them actually spoke earlier and all of you guys, we couldnt have done it without you. Thank you so much for your unwavering support. Congratulations. This is fantastic. I know start up Technical Companies take a lot longer. The fact that you did it inside of government is even more remarkable. I think it looks very modern and very up to date and i love the fearful it and looks like some of the best websites. It does look like its going to be very easy to navigate and something that is going to be frankly just a great way of off loading some of the work thats being done in person today because i think its very self service oriented.

As i open another business, i will wait for this. It makes you want to start a

We have some test users and some of you guys have probably logged in and checked it out and maybe given input along the way. This has been my blood, sweat and tears for the last 10 months so im really excited to show you guys. This is our official logo for the portal. We wanted Something Different from the city seal but also representing something from the city of San Francisco. So people would look at the site and think this doesnt look like our traditional government website but the seal will give them the reason that this is coming from the city.

Full launch is october which is where we are at now. We need to create and operations and training manual so its something that we can pass on some day if we are not around anymore and somebody takes over the portal. I really feel this is a site that has longevity and not something that is created and will disappear in a year or two. We will have a training manual and operational manual and this will have to be conducted periodically and we need to check with the department to make sure all the information in the portal is correct. We need to do a content management and we are already getting feedback from some of our early users and updating forms and information and some of the feeds as they increase. Technical maintenance and security maintenance. Part of the next phase whic

So this is now going to as commissioner dwight said, its going to dramatically increase the numbers because not everybody could get to us from 85, monday through friday. Again, its under your purview as a Small Business commission to say these are the next directions that we want the mayor and the board of supervisors to support and fund.
