move planner

And so, after a good eight months of planning and development, a completely new version of moveme.com is now very nearly finished! The planner was developed as a collaboration between our fine crew of in-house developers, both ASP.Net and Javascript, and the world-class Javascripters at Digivate. QA support came from Softheme, a company based in the Ukraine, who I’d have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending - for what they charge, there is absolutely no excuse not to conduct a structured quality assurance process off-site.

The planner is available here as a public beta. If you have any feedback, or spot any nastiness, you can use the link in the footer to leave us some feedback, or email me directly at andy @ this domain. Have fun!
