I realise you probably knew I was talking about a quote as its quite clear in the posts but yeh, I have built many large sites, mostly for government all of which were on secure connections, etc and all much larget in scale than this small project. I was approached privately for this quote however, and have never had the resonsibility of organising secure servers, etc. This is why I asked the advice. I will take the advice though and order the book at least (just too late for the on the spot quote). The site is so small that to hire a consultant here in the UK would somewhat dwarf the budget. But yeh, I am no slouch ;) Regards, Dominic On 15/01/2008, Dominic Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wow, not to be a mean guy or anything, but if you are asking these type > > of questions within an hour of your deadline, you may not be the right > > person to do this...
