Building A Website Case Study Part 2

Since the last post, nothing has happened with the website.

Nothing!

This and 3 others like it were meant to go live on Monday but the problems begin when other humans enter the equation.

I hired one designer to do a header, the person disappeared. Luckily I hadn’t paid them any money.

Then I hired a second one, who has replied twice to my PMs but seems to be a serial procrastinator.

Let me tell you, the procrastination levels on the internet are high. Very high. You nearly always have to ride someone very hard to get some work delivered to you. And when you find a good service provider, you gotta book-mark it!

Forums.Digitalpoint.com is where I go to buy most web related things - domains, SEO, blog posts, design, coding help. It’s a mess and most people trying to sell stuff are useless but there are tons of diamonds in the rough so the look isn’t that hard.

And because of the fact that Indians and Chinese are all over the place, even the Americans who do better quality work have to price themselves much lower to get a slice of the pie.
