A new era

Well, I've now left Crown Business Communications Ltd. and I am moving on to pastures new, David, a ex-colleague of mine is moving on as well, and in his own words "opportunities to laugh heartily at my expense and maybe help me out in my quest to make a career out of web development!" http://daveneedshelp.blogspot.com/2008/02/welcome-to-my-blog.html. I must admit I like what was said but believe Dave will need no help at all, he is quite skilled and will soon learn that fact.

I've been sooooo busy, I haven't had a chance to write or update anything on the blog, catch up with friends, etc...

The Reason: JPMorgan.

I'm currently completely redeveloping the CMS for the majority of the JPMorgan graduate recruitment sites (EMEA, Asia, India, South Africa, US Investment Banking and Asset Management, and the Global Portal). In addition several of the microsite go global this year, a list will be forthcoming.

I'll update this blog, when the site goes live on the 1 Sept 2007.

[Agency] What to charge for Web Development?

There are four elements that go into a price: time, materials, overhead and
mark-up. I think it will be easiest to look at each of these in reverse order.
