((( Design Company With Terrible Quality-control )))
 

okay its almost time to "out" a certain design company here

there's a design company i've been working with, that i found here, that is giving me unbelievably sub-par work....the odd thing is, from what i've read & seen, you would think they would be one of the best!

quality control from this company is HORRIBLE - its like one of the staff is getting stuff and sending it to the owner to give to me, and the owner isnt even looking at it himself to make sure the quality is up to par

i'm fucking sick of this shit, and i'm going to "out" them for shitty quality of work if another day goes by that i have to deal with this bullshit!!! :disgust

:mad:

Lemme guess... AMJeff of RageCash?
:disgust

wheeew, not me :upsidedow:1orglaugh

Don't panic :) :pimp

No really a response I'd expect from any other designer... hmm... :upsidedow

thats the downside for design company or group of designers. you can't relay on their portfolio, since they have various designers, old and new recruit, YOU DON"T know who did those nice designs. YOU DON"T know the designer are still there.

also their good designers are always busy, and those bad ones are seems not. how if those bad ones did your site? you suck!

so back in the days, when i'm still renting out a designers, i always go with freelancers. and I MAKE SURE he is the one who did all the stuffs on his porfolio.

i hate seeing nice portfolio but the one who did it are dead long ago.

yeah I feel your pain! designers suck sometimes.. I'm so sick of their empty promises of a date when they will be done and then they tell me it will be done tomorrow :1orglaugh

Fucking amen. :disgust

i guess not all designer :)

Well, you might want to out them so we don't have to go through the same shit as you...



Or not...:Oh crap

In the day you wait to out them another few customers have to put up with shitty work, out em or why bother posting.....

Don't ya love outsource companies!
Thats pretty much all the larger design guys do is outsource the shit to Orient and hand you crazy things that make no sense or resemblence to whats "IN" for design or upto date in concept...

:2 cents:So hire your own designer and you will have less of these problems

Was a joke, I dont even know FelixFlow...

I dont think Ive had any disgruntled clients yet. If I have limits, I admit them.

true to my word :thumbsup

References are much more valuable than portfolios.

got plenty of those :thumbsup

i will NEVER EVER again use a design company where I don't know who exactly is doing my design and which designs he/she has done in the company's portfolio and where I have direct communication with the designer not some 'project manager'.

Exactly.. places like Blue Design Studios for example have all kinds of different designers .. they just outsource their work then overcharge YOU for it...

it's a crap shoot wh oyuo get.. Find a real good freelance guy or small group of guys.. then you'll know you'll always get basically the same quality

I totaly agree, we have to know more about this kind of company!

I worked at an agency here in NYC, and 9 out of 10 pieces of work in their portfolio were done by people who have left the agency.

Your best bet is to deal with the designer/developer themselves. NEVER EVER deal with sales people. From my experience, they will tell you anything you need to hear in order for you to sign off on the work.

I've had that problem as well. or the first design they do for you is awesome and by the 5th one you want to pull your hair out.

You're fucking lucky!!!! You got 4 good ones before the bad one - I wish I could be so lucky hehe

I was going to start a thread about this, but you beat me to it. This is the last time i'll ever hire ANY recommended designer or a web design company with a great looking portfolio (reality tends to be different). I've tryed many and all i've learned so far that it's just a waste of money. Funny that i havent used most of the designs i bought from designers or i had to extremely modify it myself to be able to use it. The only reason i havent done it myself is because i prefer to spend my time on doing other things, but fuck it. Oh yeah references tend to SUCK too.

Not saying all of them have been sucky as there are a few out there whom are worth, but MOST of 'm are like 16 old kiddies whom are using MS Paint to create their stuff, or use top notch stuff but dont know how to combine colors.

Word! Deej tells you when something is above him.

Felix! Text me who it is, I wana know ;)

that was too bad lots of time and money are waste again :):):)
