Another Tale Of Two Websites

A Tale Of Two Websites (part - 2)

A friend of mine asked me to design a site for his church. i didn't have anything that took my time then so i decided i should go it. Unknown to me, this friend of mine was acting as the designer to the individual that wanted the site (the pastor of a church)

This caused delay in payment (5 months). Between excuses and delays (Uncrossed cheques and banks closed, asking for account details, saying he wanted to see me personally - like he wouldn't have announced that i was doing it for free if i actually came), i suspended the site, since by now i was communicating directly with the pastor himself and nothing was forthcoming (how drastic does one have to be to get payment). Cut a long story short I got paid. But i never got contact from them again (Beef?)

Now for the record i love to a fault - CUSTOMIZING all the client's needs exactly the way he wanted them. And to add good measure, i added a CMS (Content managament system for handling news, rss feeds, calendar, articles, auto db backup) so i won't have to maintain it for them (i hate church work)

Anyways someone is making a new one, which is manually once you look up the source code. The rest, i leave to you to see:

MINE:

The new one:

QUESTION: Why? All because he would be doing for free (an inside man tells me, the friend of mine)

Credit goes to my2cents for the title. I thought it fit in perfectly. ironic, isn't it?

 

I JUST PASSED OUT. Good lord!. I'm  an unknown victim of 419? _{(How crazy can it get?)}

This is the kind of thing that dents our image. CAN YOU IMAGINE? I'm this shocked cause i've heard of 419 in many forms, BUT THIS! (And to think you won't be caugth)

TO DO LIST:
Do research background on all future clients. Pronto!
