No-one should think WA is expensive. What's the cost of the average web agency or design studio - £100/hour or more? We can fix that. 

Lack of 24/7 support is scary. The internet is always on. Do you have enough people for a call-out rota (at least 5)?

Security can be highlighted in the ethics section. I like that.

They vary a lot, but the point is that several hours work for a blog posting worth circulating is a kind of investment in longer-term consciousness raising, alongside promoting our services, but it's not a small commitment. It's the equivalent of at least a day's work, maybe two. Can we spare that? I hope so. Perhaps if we aimed at one a month ... ?
