waaooh nice read
alot of ideas and alot of rants and all good.
To me its about what the client wants. also at what stage is the industry in Nigeria right now. I guess its in the web 1.0 stage and even when the founders of the Internet as in USA were in the web 1.0 stage or the begining of web sites 1994 to 2000, you will realise that their sites too were not that appealing.
Trust me, give the clients what they want when they want it. else you will starve. My team can handle from www.mpyraa.org to www.bygtee.com to www.naijaborn.com, and some of clients pay us as low as 15K naira and others pay as high as 400K naira.
Guys its about giving them what they want and forgetting the pride. Even if you know all these HTML, CSS, Fireworks Photoshop, Dreamweaver, .NET, J2EE, cakephp, Joomla. the final thing is using what you know to make money.
thats all I have to say

Well he is right. right there. some clients do not really care for the technology or the standards behind the site. all they care is that "I have a website that looks way cooler than my neighbors'" now i can get back to business.

mambe on nairaland! woohoo!

Mr 2Digits jst coming tru showin luv o

naija web developers dey try! thers improvement over time. may not be as rapid as u like, but improvement all the same

to Mike: YES I built it up myself. No templates No pre-existing frames.

You should not blame Nigerian Webmasters. The average Nigerian want to pay as little as N10 000 for a website. How would you compare a website of 10000 with that of 100 000

Personally, I wear many shoes in the website industry. I develop website from 5k(for student friends)
