virtual paHow long will it take?  This is probably the most frequently asked question when speaking to potential clients.  It’s not always easy to determine and there are a lot of factors to consider such as the quality of the brief given, accessibility to resources and information, the subject etc.  Some tasks are impossible to judge.  But there are also a lot of straight forward tasks that I can give a good indicator of how long they will take.
