ha... so i didnt post for a bit b/c my router shit the bed.
so i get the whole "dont take money out of a firm's pocket" and the "whatever the client will pay is what its worth" AND the "lets all get rates up so we can charge more for bottom line jobs"
here is my issue. the site looks disgusting. and i am a designer that actually gives a fuck about making people/clients happy thats one of the main reasons i left the agency world and am now a totally broke freelancer.
the integration of blog/shopping cart is supposedly finished in the wed dev's eyes... i cant see how that is possible. they are acting like they are totally done with the site and they have just now given the client the first look at the template based implementation they have developed.
the client(jean) is not happy and the firm is claiming they are 95% finished with the site. they are developers that buy a handful of templates and plug content in... jean had no way of knowing that(or what that even meant she is a 62yr old ex PE teacher running her own business in education).
so am i taking a job away from someone? FUCK YES! with pleasure.. if the web continues to be proliferated with bullshit HTML templates like this i think its a shame and that design should be taken out of the "web designer" title these asshats toss around so casually.
