For me, yourclients.co.uk is a good way of advertising and helping smaller organisations without appropriate Solution Implementation budget. Marcin Thanks,

And wonderful news for you also. I can imagine the cool factor when you tell people that one of your client was featured on Dragons' Den and *you* developed their website. We in Canada are waiting for CBC to launch Dragons' Den on Oct 4th. I am looking forward to other entrepreneurs and website designers to report similar "Dragons' Den effect". There is the official "unofficial" CBC Dragons' Den website. And I think this is an advancement (or at least a different approach taken) on what BBC is doing. http://www.insidethedragonsden.com/ Keep up the great work. I can't wait to watch eps 7!!! Now that I you developed Peter's website. Kempton Calgary, Canada Hi Marcin,

I have to agree with Mike that it takes quite a bit to be able to properly estimate most projects. I actually had an article a little while ago related to the topic called <a href="http://www.retrospector.com/2006/07/10/estimating-projects/" rel="nofollow">Estimating Projects</a> that hits more on why experience is probably the most key point to being able to accurately estimate how long things take.

I think the problem goes a little deeper, though, incorporating things like the developer's desire to please or seem fast, and a generally optimistic outlook that forgets things like "debugging" and "testing." :) Very interesting perpective.
