The good thing is that (nearly) anything is possible online if you are willing to invest the required amount of time/effort/money. For those clients who are serious about making something work, they simply need to cut the project into more manageable and realistic goals and amazing things can grow once you know what areas to focus on.

YES - it is going to be hard work and many just do not understand the scope of the issues to do this work. Been doing the evangelism myself but good to hear others - thanks.
