FN-FORUM: Your Kingdom for a Donkey.

date posted 12th November 2007 11:18

Here's a small snippet from a typical website where people are asking =
for
some web development / addition to a current site to be carried out;

'I know it's a fairly quick, simple and small job for somebody with the
right skills'

Why is it that no-one/ very few people (except bigger corporations) give =
any
real value to their websites / the work done by the developer. As im =
sure
has been discussed many times before there are numerous, supposedly
professional tender sites where people want Google, YouTube, Amazon and =
Ebay
rolled into one website for an outlay of $500 / =A3230 and delivered =
within 'a
few days'.

I wouldn=92t tell a plumber its an easy job so ill pay him =A35 and he =
can
finish it within 10 minutes. Well, if I did he'd tell me to [EMAIL REMOVED] off!

So why is it that even businesses whom have been burned in the past by
paying low fees for a website, still want the world for no more than 20p =
and
a few hours work, because it's an easy job? Am I alone in not only =
finding
this frustrating, but somewhat arrogant?

Discuss.
