Sigh

July 14, 2008 by

This from my inbox, and quite frankly, it burns me up… anyone aware of the adage "pay peanuts, get monkeys"?

"I’m looking at something we can update ourselves* but want to spend as minimum** as possible because we are a charity, however, I don’t want it to look cheap***"

Gentle Reader, if at any stage you are wishing to have a site made all of your very own, without wanting to use a free thing like Blogger. and you think you might like to get someone like me to build your site for you (and I’d be delighted, just so you know), please don’t send comments like the above.  It is likely to cause me to double my hourly rate just to make you go away.

 

*we want a Content Management System.  (Add $$$$).
**nothing.
***we want it to look like we spent a fortune on it.

    Hmmm…. sounds like someone asking for something for free, if you ask me. Point them in the direction of Blogger and don’t feel guilty about it!

    I came close, sent them off to WordPress and told them if they want me to do the content etc. “$[…] is the hourly rate”
