I noticed a lot of web designers, that promise communication and joint effort, then duck you and say they don’t want to show an unfinished product.
If a high percentage use the same lines can’t this be a 60 minutes industry exposal?

Thanks

She stated she would perform image resize/touch-up, write product descriptions, perform Facebook updates, create an SEO plan and strategy, drive lots of traffic to the site and perform the migration. During the length of her employment, she stated that she’d done some of the things she had committed to (Facebook updates, SEO linking, picture resize and touch-up, product description write up) and asked for payment for the work she’d done and stated that she’d do the migration over the coming weekend.

She received payment and then quit. She said she would send the work she’d done within a couple days so that the business could continue the things that were in process. She sent nothing and has blocked my emails.

She was paid a considerable amount of money for work she claimed to have done and upon receiving the payment, she quit and didn’t provide anything for the payment she received.

I’d advise not making payment until you have either seen progress or the site is complete.

I think the problem lies with people who are unfamiliar with the design process. Web designers may intentionally leave out the part of using a template vs a custom design.

A tip for all customers would be to ask the designer directly that you’re going to be getting a 100% custom design and not a template. You can also request for them to add that specifically in the contract.

I own a web design company and we have contracts in place for both the developer and the client. We were forced to start using complex contracts when clients would give you the go ahead to start designing a website and then when the site is nearly finished decide it is not what they are looking for or they just want to keep changing the design at your cost. They refuse to pay for any work done and you are left after completing 4-5 weeks of work with nothing. They refuse to pay for any work which was completed.

We have found a contract really sorts out who is serious about creating a Website and who is just thinking they might want a Website. (The tire kickers)

There is no problems using a template if the design the customer was looking for is similar in design of the template. The template was custom built by a developer in the first place.

We are a Development Agency who are passionate about our work and we are creating a front for clients business’s. We are not about just taking your money, we enjoy what we do and hope that our work gives you great success in your business.
