The Phantom Client Strikes Again
I haven't heard from them in months. On a hunch, I pulled up their website (just in time for the fall rush season), to see what was there. What I saw was neither the old site nor what we turned over to them.
Why am I upset? Let me list the reasons.
By using our services and not using the final product, it is inferred that they were unhappy with said services, and possibly that they found our work sub-par. We call them a client, and they're liable to tell people that we suck. And, also, if we call them a client, we'll look bad because they did not opt to use any of our designs/plans/structure.
Really, what happened is a long, strung-out project in which there was a complete lack of communication and funding, and then a complete disregard for recommendations.
If you contract us to do a job, and we do it to spec, at least use what we give you. Don't make up your own rules and make us look bad.
