:mad An Ode to Bad Web Designers 101

Why oh why does this continue to be a problem no matter where you go for a quote. No matter, big, or small the job. You are willing to pay top dollar for it. Half down. Whatever to get a good designers and yet STILL...

You cannot get them to keep their commitments?

-That is on delivery of the final product.
-Call backs when they say.
-Meeting timeline commitments to stay on schedule.

Why is it you are paying good money, and some how I have to change my schedule to ride them like Zorro to get shit done? I cannot count the number of times I have been told something, whether site, graphic, etc will be done by the end of the day, week, month, and been still waiting. Or I have to track them down.

I think in the future I am going to get my lawyer to draft up a contract for me in all these bigger mainstream projects that set benchmarks that you WILL MEET at the time set, or your fees paid from the original quote will start going down per missed commitment by say... 10% each time.
