Do you want to build a website for your business and you don't want to fall into a wrong hand? Or for some reason you fear that a typical web developer in Nigeria may not pay enough attention to fully understand your requirements or won’t be patient enough to guide you ?
Then first and foremost, accept my empathy as this experience is not peculiar to you. My journey to building my multi-seller ecommerce website-buy247.com.ng- had its own fair share of challenges.

This article is motivated by a conversation i had with a fellow merchant who narrated his ordeal with two local developers before he eventually patronised an indian developer. His narrative was pathetic because he felt he wasn't properly managed, In fact the first developer called him a difficult customer because he insisted on what he -the customer- wants instead of accepting what he - the developer - delivered.
The first developer i contacted over-promised and after deploying a site without a payment module, he kept up a ceaseless round of correspondence that couldn't close the project. He couldn't deliver!

Another developer couldn't make the site function for other interested sellers. Another forced me to use a flat shipment fee as against my request for a weight based fee (Can you imagine that) . I refused the suggestion and as a result, i was deemed uncooperative and the project was abandoned.

My site couldn't go live until i met Classiclink Technology whom i visited at their office at Alausa (Alausa Shopping Mall)
The development team listened to my story and advised accordingly, i was impressed with the fact that my requirements were more important to them than their payment. Till date support has been reliable and every module on my site functions as required.

I thought it necessary to post my feedback on their services as a way to guide so many merchants shopping for web design / development services. And to show my appreciation to Classiclink development team for
helping me to put flesh on my requirements and without complaints and financial presure, steered my
project to completion.

How can i patronise a web designer/developer who under delivers and yet labels me a difficult-customer. What the heck does that mean?

I did not know Classiclink Technology prior to my first visit but now we are planning do several ecommerce related projects together. Their advice on digital marketing has really helped with sales. I see this as a client management skill that all merchants deserve. So many designers/ developers need to know that a merchants' patronage is not all about money money money. Haba!!

I know you're trying to advertise your website design company. But you don't have to lie and deceive people while doing that. Saying you don't know the designer of your website before hand is a lie. If you ask me, I think both companies are run by the same individuals. And that is you.

Lemme tell you the mistake you made. And please be careful not to make it next time.

The company information.

You might have a very good explanation as to why both companies have the same address and phone numbers though.
