Looking for ASP developers Nov 14. 050

So, things are getting pretty busy over at Nine Four and I’m on the lookout for freelance ASP (urgh!) developers for a possible upcoming project.

If you think you have the skillz, and have some great ASP examples in your portfolio, drop us an email [studio at ninefour dot co dot uk] and please include an indication of your hourly rate.
