Consequently, we cannot start any new work until December 2008.

What are we up to? On the design side, we’re creating and launching websites for:

- a graphic designer
- a small business
- a translation service

On the requirements specification side, we’re determining the Internet needs of:

- a bakery
- a museum
- a small publisher

We’re still open to discussion regarding future work, but just note that the work itself can’t start until December 2008 at the earliest.
