I was off miles away from medan for a great project offer, but i was lucky enough to have easy access to my website, mail and all of my internet activities. as always my mail is filled with questions from my website visitors and also work/project offer from potential clients.

Sadly i cant accept project offer at the moment since i have quite packed and jammed schedule, and just now i have a very intense conversation with a client to build him a wordpress theme. we are in the process of negotiating a price for the work. For me, pricing is not quite a factor because if i have more spare time i usually would just take the customer offer right away, so for me spare time to complete the work matters more, if its a low price i would just consider it as just another portfolio work.
