Let’s just say that we have had various experience with web developers. Some good and some really bad ones. Like any entrepreneur that is trying to launch a website, hiring a good development company is not easy. Many will claim having knowledge of every aspect of web development, that they will deliver outstanding work in a timely matter. But really you have to be ready to encounter certain problems, if you already know that no one is perfect then you should know that your developer will not be perfect either. We did meet really good people that we know did their best to deliver a product to the best of their abilities up to a point and we parted our ways with no issues. No one today can claim that they did not receive their payments on time or did not get paid what Pricible owed them.
And then, one day you make a mistake of hiring a development company that just wants to rip you off, not really caring about what you are trying to accomplish, they just want your money. Because you are already past your deadline and feel like you should launch quickly and users are waiting for your final product, you get your development company to work extras hours. They use that excuse to start requesting triple what you think you should have paid and even charge for hours and items that do not make sense. And then one day, you finally wake up and decide to fire then. If you are a good moral entrepreneur, you still pay them, even for things that are not done because you do not wish to go through legal issues. Every developer should guarantee his work, they all say they do but in the end many don’t, so you end up paying one developer after another to fix issues what you have already paid for.
Many of us been through this, time and time again. What some developers don’t realize is that, if you succeed, then they succeed. If you make it, then they get an even large account, meaning more money. They don’t realize that by trying to get a couple of thousand they miss a chance to get a couple of hundred thousand.
Thank God! we think that we have found someone that is just incredible at what he does, this will allow us to fix some of the issues that we have ongoing and update our display for a better user experience. So there is always hope that there is someone out there that can deliver on his promises.
Good luck to all of you out there trying to make it!
Happy New Year 2010!! This can only be a great year.
