What do you charge?
We cost our projects based on a very competitive rate of £22 hour, we'll provide you with a quote judging by the amount of time we feel it will take for us to complete your project, including administration and a specified amount of amends (usually 3 provided there are no significant changes to copy or design), this will be the final amount that you will pay unless the scope of the project changes, if this is the case we will advise you of any increase in price before we continue.

For new clients, our payment terms are 7 days from invoice. When we've built a relationship – and as long as your credit scores are good – we’re happy to extend those terms to 28 days. If your credit scores go negative at any time, we’ll ask for part-payment before we start the project.

Is the meeting room secure?
All communications are protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v3) with 128-bit encryption. Encryption provides a layer of security for data, voice, transactions, and account management interactions.
I can't hear / be heard? - Sound issues
Although it is possible to use any build in microphone and speakers that your computer has installed we do recommend that you use a headset when intending to use the VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) functionality of the meeting room as it reduces any feedback and sound distortion. Please ensure that your microphone / speakers are set to an adequate volume level and is not muted. To make adjustments go to the Flash® Player control panel within the meeting room and use the Advanced Volume Control settings.
It is possible to Dial-in to the meeting room using , however you will be charged by your telephone provider for the cost of the call.
