E-was thinking of going out of town this weekend-are you going to be checking your email or can i get in touch w/you at one of the #'s you gave me?
check your email-

i ask because i heard of her through the USM GreekLife people who weren't happy with the site that they had (done by theresa pridemore). The company I worked ended up getting the project and I redid the site.
But now they seemed to have butchered a lot of things and that make me sad. they've killed my work, bastards :(

fuck those guys man.
yea she did the old one for them. they were complete dicks.
if they didnt like what they got, it was because they told her what to do instead of letting her work.same chick though.

i will check email when i can, but it would be best to gimme a call on my cell phone.
or you can get me during the day at my work number.

i had the same problem with the Greek Life people. They never seemed to be satisfied for some strange odd reason.
This is the first comp I did for them http://www.cafefive.com/sites/gr… which they HATED with all their heart. I am not saying it is a great looking site but they could've nice about it.
*cries*

living in portland?
yeppers. work is scarce but most agencies are bare to the bone and quietly shopping work. knowing HOW is big plus ... lot's of competition, little patience.

Site's address is www.theresapridemore.com. ;)

Man, that sucks to hear. It's been a long time since I worked on that site. It's hard to make a site that paints something you can't stand in a positive light.
I don't remember if Greek Life gave me hell or not. Probably did, it was the usual par for the course around there.
Sorry to hear they mucked up your design. And that they were so negative in their reaction... It's really hard to deal with clients like that. They probably didn't even really know what they wanted.
Portland's cool, nice balance between a bustling larger town, and smaller-town mentality. But, yeah, right now it is mostly a freelance community, job market still a bit rough around here.
