People have garbage websites but they have already a designer

And of course they are satisfied. Why? Because those garbage computer literate guys dare to call themselves designers. Not everyone who knows what is a patch cable or HTML code is a web designer. People are scammed all the time and they believe they got the best service possible for the lowest price. Oh yes, SEO, CMS and everything included but real design and style. Sure it is a start and I had customers who realized that the friend who made the website for free might be not the best bet. So they came to me and they were satisfied. I did not make any SEO, optimization or any extra. All I did is a good quality website with style. And voila, the business reported that sales grew. No SEO, no optimization, no additional ideas and function. Pure professional design. Anyway, I hope these made up designer will die out so we can have a place once. No longer I want to pay for quality leads.

Imagine, I just registered at a uk website where people ask for qualified web designers. There were some good prices. People with £4000 budget. That’s not a bad deal. I went into one and bough a contact, event planner website. Okay, I phone the lady, she doies not take it. I emailed her and no answer. After some days I could phone her but she was busy. Then I got an email saying that she got a better offer. She had £4000-4900 budget, so I bid £4000. Guess how much did the other guy offered? £599… I told her that I’m not sure she will get what she wants but I got no answer to that email. That lead, to buy the contact information of the lady cost me £25. Craze.

Oh, yes and I made cold calling as well. People are satisfied with what they have and sometimes even hang up the phone when I mentioned the mythical word “web site” or “web design”. Oh yes, these gangster “web designers” have made the industry so much down, I don’t even know what to say. I tried to apply for jobs without success.

The cool thing is that I have still a laptop and internet. So that’s fine because I can blog and I love to blog even though sometimes not really. Anyway, I don’t need to be bugged by stupid people any longer. Hope it will work out. And yes next to this, I will open a model site and take pictures. Yeah, models are nice faces and I will enjoy taking photos of them and getting them some jobs.

So things go fine, UX and usability still rock!

Some design news from me – plugins and such garbage

I have just tried out sweetcorn, All in One SEO Pack, SEO Smart Links, WP-Cumulus and they do nothing. I’m not a freebee in WordPress but I really could not make them work. Sure, sweetcorn is not a wp plugin and I did not try to use it as such. The other’s are and I find no sense in using them. Just to let know you. So I deleted them. The other plugin that basically bugs me is HelloDolly. Why is it included in Wordpress by default? What sense does it make? So I deleted hellodolly because I found the plugin directory…

Now, I’m trying some snaphot plugin and just a minute… They do nothing, I activated them and refreshed the site but nothing. FULL ARTICLE +
