I can't go into too much detail but the two sites together were about
15 days of my time so far. There is some functional overlap. There
was a fair amount of Grails bug finding / feature contrib / bleeding
edge pain which made this much longer than it would be now.
I'm only talking about my part here - the Grails back end. We have
other developers working on the designs, CSS, XHTML etc. and I spent
extra time configuring the servers, admin etc.
To do a simple site like this again, for the grails part - once you
know your stuff - would be a lot less than 5 days I think. We have
some interesting visitor tracking / profile update stuff going on
which complicated it slightly.
This all of course depends on how much of an investment you want to /
can make in unit and functional testing up front. Because of tight
deadlines we couldn't do this. These are being added now.
