To sum 2009 up in a few words: the last year was great. Many personal achievements, business developing great and looking forward to an exciting 2010.

To support your client/contractor communication and your time of project preparation I have crafted a short checklist/questionnaire[1] which aims to make your life as a web consultant easier.
