Online Comparison Engine
We are a publishing company based in Stone, Staffordshire. We provide an online comparison tool for our customers to compare their products side by side with their competitors products. Our worldwide audience completed over 3 million comparisons last year with site traffic measured in the 10s of millions.

Target phase one go-live date 1st January 2012 for essential functionality. Further functionality can be delivered in Q1 2012.
You will be required to bring your own creativity and ideas to the table. The above brief is deliberately vague to allow room for change and improvement. However, a robust, fast, simple and secure solution must be delivered before the end of 2011.
We are looking to develop a long term relationship or possibly offer a permanent position where exemplary work is demonstrated.
