268280 2004-09-03 02:11:00 Let's not turn this into a debate of cost versus function. If something doesn't work, it's never cheap. Cost and function are not the only issues.
I thought the content was good, and prices didn't seem OTT.
People don't always want cheap, they don't always want rolls royce.

Good point. I think It's that case I was trying to say:
You get what you pay for.

At the same time though there is an exception where you might get ripped off as well, although by being careful by gettings others opinions etc it might help reduce that.

Fair call robo

268282 2004-09-03 02:19:00 I think you guys might want to argue against it....

I will restate, you pay for a service you get the service that goes with the bill. If you pay a small fee, you get a small amount of service, bar exceptions of abnormality.

268284 2004-09-03 02:26:00 C'mon, let it go.

Yes, something can be professional but free (like US lawyers that do "pro bono" work). Something can cost money but be amateur (don't get me started on that one).

The big problem is the really expensive website that looks like it's been hit by a bus and sucks. Like maybe the new bankdirect site where you hit TAB after keying in your customer number and you go anywhere but the password field. There are tons of examples out there.

This thread has got me thinking about my website again, though.

Hers an idea,stop making assuptions and you won't put youur foot in it.

I worked for the company involved for 3 months developing a cluster of 1500 pages,A project that was meant to have made a retail yellow pages type set-up.The project eventually sunk due to friction among the investors.

My site was developed as the template for a product to be used to sell the companies services,and has succesfully generated many many thousands of dollars for the ceator who has based multiple sites off it.

The site is all custom coded and runs off a database,without the product images the site fits on a floppy,it tracks all orders,fires off emails and has custom pages for adding stock.

On top of that every detail of my site was planned to give the exact impression that it does,It was not meant to look at all like ascent but it has all the capabilites.



Eat some pie.

268287 2004-09-03 02:34:00 I'll just leave it at the point you get you pay for, otherwise I am going to be here arguing so you're right I should let it go.

What is your website address btw?

268288 2004-09-03 02:38:00 and yeah you are right, some people do work for free as samples or various other cases, but i think those are exceptions myself.... you are right though i should be allowing for those as well.


To be honest though i think 90% of web designers i have looked at in terms of their quality is low, perhaps in my opinion
