Their Clients:
Current Situation
- Their web presence is not really good as their external links does not really show their website also their website do not allow people to express their views and toughts. They only have a feedback box in the website which does not really communicate out to the public.
- The website is not effective as in does not promote awareness in the public.
- The website does not show any updates of events and etc.
- The website is lacking of developing awareness to the society as before this project i knew there was an organisation that prevents addiction but i did not know they have a website.
- Similar websites would be problem gambling are like National Council on problem gambling.
