Andy,-

I obviously speak strictly for myself here, but the fact that you don't
provide the site URL of the company in question doesn't make it easier to
make a (rational, emotional, you name it) judgment about whether the job is
worth giving a shot. Personally as a web developer, I derive a huge amount
of information (most of it, unconsciously) from exploring a company site, so
that's a major factor in any further decision to make a contact. Whether
this is the same for others I cannot speak about - just thought I would give
you a pointer that might be useful.

Cheers,
Vahagn
