To give you an idea of how I operate, what's expected and what's an acceptable delivery time, check out www.soobrantford.com.
I did that last night (Sunday Apr 23) and it took me 5 hours total.
In that time I:
- registered soobrantford.com and modified the name servers
- added the domain name to the host header
- created a new portal with the domain alias
- assigned a skin and container set
- setup all the pages and placed 2 text modules on each page as content place holders
- created the role hierarchy and secured each page (web content editor role added + given edit rights to pages)
- created private intranet with shared documents, inter-organization discussions and webmail access
If you are quicker than me and can do everything mentioned in this post.. I'm looking to hire you.
