Ok first things first, I'm not going to mention any names, because he's a pretty nice guy, just seems a little confused.

It's my hopes that he reads this post, and any advice others give him anonymously .

Here's the scoop,

Recently I was hired to do some gallery templates for a newly released solo girl site.

The guy wants the thumbnails hardcoded into the design itself, with a rounded edge. I though this was a little odd, but though eh, what the hell, I'll do it.

So I make his galleries, and then get a nasty email from him complaining that the galleries I made don't track his affiliates to the tour pages.

So my reply, naturally, was to get with his coder, or whomever he hired to make his affiliate section, and get him to do it. As a designer, I don't feel I'm responsible for creating his whole gallery, including the php code to pass on the affiliate codes to the tour.

Especially when I was not told to, nor given and snipplets of code to add.

I advised him that more then likely (though I wasn't sure) he was going to have to convert the html files I gave him to php files and add a code in there to pass on the affiliate id to the tour so the affiliates could get credited via a cookie or something similar.

Then I took a look at his tour, which is also HTML. So that means that once it's there, it's not even possible to track conversions? Am I correct?

Am I in the wrong? Or is this guy just asking too much from a designer? Do you have your designers code the entire thing for you?

Do you have any advice to give this new webmaster that I already haven't given him?
