Rusty, its really not worth it.
You will build it and get the cash, then you will get calls/emails from your client for about 6 months afterwards asking why this or that isn't working.
There is no guarantee that even 1 person will be able to actually see it. I told this to my client and they pushed for it anyway, they had all their IT staff set up the entire companies email to allow it (1,500 people) and there were still error messages being thrown up weekly.
And just so it wasnt me causing this, i built it real simple, just loading text into a flash movie with links to their intranet for downloads. I don't even know how it would handle complex coding or animation.
And every week they backed up and each email was about 3 megs as opposed to the 200kb file actually hosted on their site.
Its a headache and really not worth it.
