i just got back from a meeting with jean(the client) her husband(my friend of 10+years)and the salesman/owner of the web "design" firm.
they guys were all on 5 year old dells surfing penny arcade in the ikea furnished make shift looking 800sq. ft office....
it was a battle of the twits with these guys all i wanted to know was "can you incorporate my redesign into your existing content implementation" and all the salesguy kept repeating was "we have thousands of man hours in this how are we gonna pay our developers for the work that you are no longer happy with"
so.... end of story is like this, im taking over the design/programming of the site and they will be taking care of the shopping cart. their template is gonna be shoved back into their folder and used on some other unsuspecting client that doesnt know what questions to ask or what is available in todays web3.0(yeah i said 3.0 deal with it) world... we have moved past thinking that 2Advanced style shit is the "future of webdesign" and realize even flash needs to be SEO(GAIA frameworks and the like help enormously) these guys just arent capable or willing to do that style of work no matter what the cost. Hack-TML shops like this just make me hate the title "web designer" that gets tossed around onto template editors.
fuck this is wearing me out. thanks for your responses... they were more helpful for my frame of mind then i could have imagined.
