"...we do lots of stuff that is technically straightforward.  Then there is Target Courses - one of the most demanding database projects we've encountered.  

The client, GTI media, needed to outsource the project because their own IT team were flat out building several other Drupal sites. They gave us 8 weeks to build, test and go live.  

Fun along the way included having to import a huge amount of data - UCAS listings of post-graduate courses across the UK

In the end we got there:  Search speeds rose from 20 seconds to 2 seconds as we optimised the site in the last few days.

I think their own team like a chase - they still outsource to us..."
