    Client needs help redesigning website, make it have less text and focus more on illustration work. Okay.

    One year later, after a year not having files to work with, and after 4 changes of opinion on how the portfolio page should look like, and instead of f*cking fill in the text for the work in the portfolio like for a year now, changes the last layout I've made and puts there more text than work.

    She's a friend of mine, I've received good money but after two years asking: please fill in the work's info like the year, technique, client, small text, tags and categories...no, messes with the website for the 5th time...

    The compeltion o the website hangs now for 6 months in the portfolio page so I can move to the home page, but nothing either has categories or has 5 categories that make it impossible to sort when using conditions...

    I think I'm gonna pass, give her 2 months or else I'll have to move forward.

    I also do the maintenance and that would be an awkward position but the last year it has been really frustrating.

    So, lady please pay Elementor, pay GeneratePress, pay the plugins, find a Cloud Service for your backups that you'll have to do yourself, write the support of your hosting company, learn why tags, categories, capture and description are important, go back your 500 vacation drawings that you upload with your phone and we have to spend one hour to find the one, update plugins, do the damn back-end too, mess and fumble as much as you want, etc etc etc...

    Because we have gone full circle! Grrr!...

    • sorry, I was in the need to let this out.oey_oey
    • fuck, she changed the typography, evertything in the same font, text, titles, subtitles, links in classic blue that don't fit the rest of the color scheme...oey_oey
    • titles just in Bold, text not really formatted...
      she invested in a template and I've been working around it since March and she just totally destroyed it.
