Greg Hoy

Articles and White Papers
|
| Greg Hoy at AListApart.com has some good points on when to say 'no' to a job, even (and especially) if cash is tight. "I have found that a 'typical' website redesign effort,if executed thoughtfully and thoroughly ... can take at least five or six months to complete, and this is without content management system (CMS) integration work". Amen to that.
