... Really, I'm frustrated, frustrated of working with designers who can't design within a deadline.
Some of you already know I hired a designer back in AUgust 2006.. I had to wait 6months for my refund.. I didn't saw any preview in those 6months and barely had contact with the designer...
Since then I was more carefully chosing a designer, few weeks back, I made the move, and hired a designer (don't gonna give names...) to design a 3page forumskin for me. Contact etc went smooth.. asked about price, upfront payment and turnaroundtime.
3weeks ago, I gave him a 50% up front payment. I gave him the design brief, and he said he could show me a preview within 5days. (frontpage)
I said, ok well.. fine!
I waited, and waited, checking my mail every hour.. I didn't received any mail during 2-3days, I thought, 'hey... he said 5days... but let's make sure he didn't forget about it, and drop a mail.' So did I... I dropped an email.. after another day waiting, I received an email.. some info.. like 'I was away during the weekend, you get your preview when I get back'
I mailed back,'ok no problem'...
After that mail, I didn't heard about him for about 3-4days.. I mailed him again a few times.. After those several mails, I got 1 mail back, telling me he had car problems.... I thought again: 'ok no problem'...
Then about a week ago, he gave me his word that he would drop me the preview by email the next day... I said ok.. don't disappoint me.. he said, I won't!
Didn't received ANY mail the day after we spoke..
2 Days ago.. he came on msn, telling me he was very sorry, and he would give me a preview yesterday. I said again! 'ok, don't disappoint me' he said, I'll promise I will give it you tomorrow.
-I went offline-
Then yesterday I waited the whole day for his email !!!
and again.. I didn't got ANY preview.
I'm now waiting for 3weeks for just A PREVIEW...
Because of him, me and my partner are behind shedule with our project. And that really ****es me off.
-------------
Is every designer these days so ****ing lame and slow and giving promises and such ... .
I'm really starting to get mad, no what I say, I'm getting crazy!
Opinions?
