I normally work from my home office where I make use of communication and sharing tools like Skype, Teamviewer and Dropbox, over and above the project management, download and support facilities on my website.

Phase Four
The Production (writing), Review (editing) and Delivery Phase.
This is the fun part, we build it, show it to you, you check it out for accuracy and correctness. If necessary, we change it, mould it, fix it . . . and we go round and round till it's done. Within limits of the scope and timeline, of course.
