And I bet there are even more designers he left hanging.

What are you doing with all these designers Darren? There is a new thread from you in desperate need for designers every week when you seem to have failed to wrap up past orders. I find this rather strange and figure something is up.

Are you farming out work? Are you buying designs, possibly even paying 50% up front, and then selling them to someone else and making a profit off of various designers?

Darren paid me in time, in fact, before the job was finished.

wow there are alot of designers on this board. :)

This I wondered many times myself too:winkwink:

And ya know, I am not saying there is anything wrong with that. But it would be more professional if it was said up front.

But what if he were to give a 50% deposit, and then claim he was unsatisfied with the first presentation of the work, and then just not ever come back to finish the order? Ya know, after making changes, etc, til he was satisfied. And then finish the remaining 50% payment of the job. What if you were the designer in this position, and then every week you see another post from him in desperate need for yet another designer when you happen to know he never came back to complete the work he contracted you for?

Maybe he just takes the work and sells it, makes a profit? Very shady if you ask me. Especially with all the loose ends he is leaving around.

In Darren's defense I will say that I have done a couple jobs for him, and he has been fairly punctual with payments on both occassions ...

What I don't understand, Darren, and I have discussed this with you on few occassions, is why you do not find a designer whose work you are happy with, and use that designer over again for new projects ??

I cannot speak for others here, but I know I give my loyal customers a pretty good break in price for their loyalty ...

Just my :2 cents:

Try Justin at http://www.xxxdesign.co.uk

He just did http://www.xxxstarcash.com
http://www.ukpornochicks.com
http://www.xxxvida.com
http://www.xxxmichellethorne.com

Paul does good work. Delivers on time. Does what he says when he says it. Predictable. Excellent Designer.

i don't know if justin did this site or someone else did but it has got the best domain name i've seen in a long time:

look here

nice design too ... in keeping with the name:1orglaugh

alias
We only did The original site(front/stats), with flash in it, new stuff is done by their designer.

WTF??? is all this shit? 5 designers I have not paid? What alot of shit.

Quashe I honestly do not even know who u are...
Roberto - I have emailed u many times asking for info for international wire, excellent buttons as well.
XXXpaysitedesign - $60 out of about $1k worth of work i got from u, i honestly forgot and u bought it to my attention last week and the check as been sent.

All the others who claim i owe money GFY cus it is shit.

Ive worked with many designers and have alot of projects on the go and have spent well over $20k on designs in the last year, if i GENERALLY forgot to pay someone $60 then bug me on ICQ I am human, i will send u the $$ simple.

I have worked and paid in full for many people who will vouch for me in the last months:

Hungryman , X Bruno, NaughtyDesign, Likewhoa Design, Webinc, The Nobes, Sergio, for content Xamo, Matrix, Adultcontent.ca, jokersx, cloud9, fantasycontent the list goes on - when i mention content I dont mean 1 pic set i mean I have actually talked and do large deals with the representatives.

Only person to contact me about missing payment was XXXpaysitedesign and the payment as been made , fuck me man.


Regarding why i post for designers, well for starters some designers do projects better than others, for example X Bruno kicks ass at doing basically anything but prefers the paysite style site design, for my new projects I don't want that style. Some designers produce absoloute shit and I dont want to use them again.

I have 3-4 core designers i use mainly but I am always looking for new styles and if you have a problem with that then FUCK OFF basically.

I request and ask for services on GFY because GFY as bought alot of knowledge to myself and I have learnt alot of lessons and met some great people. Therefore I put back into GFY i like to feel by asking for things i know many of you do for ur bizness.

Anyone that apparently as a problem with payment ICQ me.

Please tell me who the fuck u are? why comment on me when u dont even know me?

Was Paid upfront by Darren, Before this design job..
Good guy.

tks

Darren has always paid me, and I have done thousands of dollars in design for him, last order was a $2k project and he paid me on time.

As someone said before, I'd try to talk with my customers in private before posting a "you dont pay" message. Thats a pretty good way to loose a client.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that Daz always paid me on time.

Take care,

Bruno Dickman

I made Penis Health (correct me if I'm wrong but that was one of Darrens first sites), and I was also paid on time, no problems at all.

lol i wondered who made me Penis-Health :) tks mate it as done fucking excellent for me :)

darren please contact me: roberto at investars com
