Web Design Book - Training: What would you pay for?

I’m thinking of organizing some training courses and wanted to gauge people’s temperatures here to see:

a) if there’s any demand for it
b) what sort of prices people would realistically pay and
c) how much time they’d be prepared to give up in a block.

It’s just an idea at this stage .. but you guys might help me decide whether it’s worth pursuing.

What do I need to do?

I’ve got a list of questions below. All I’d like you to do is drop me an email, to trainingsurvey@richardquickdesign.com, with answers to as many of the questions as you can.

Hang on, what’s in it for me?

I’ll give anybody that takes part in the survey 3 months free hosting. That’s on top of the free hosting you can get if you buy my book or join the mailing list.

Fire way then!

Here’s the kind of thing I had in mind for the training
