YOU ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE MISTAKES.

You hire someone to build a site 4 you when:
1. He does not have a site of his own.
2. You don't have full details about him.


THIS CASE IS VERY RARE.

I'm a website designer, and I offer standard services to my clients.

MY SITE IS www.

I'm 08137861696

incase you need my services, I CAN DO IT 4 YOU.

DON'T FALL FOR SCAMMERS.

I CAN ALSO HELP YOU GET THE SITE DETAILS IF ONLY YOU KNOW THE hosting company HE IS USING TO BUILD YOUR SITE.

Very constructive,
check my signature and never call me a scammer!

and for avoidance of doubt, your rights to the codes simply mean that you can ensure that whosoever you licensed it to cannot transfer or use it in any other project or in any manner whatsoever without your express permission and conditions.

Hello 4llerbuntu,

Made a mistake not making this clear earlier... Paschal have access to the CP with majority of the features, what he doesnt have is the permission to access the Database.

Once again, guys no need of blatant attack that’s clearly rude and outrageous, go through my response.

Cheers.

chiefinalowo:
First off, delete the bolded texts....they are never your attributes.
Why would you insert such clause in a contractual agreement?
Do you want his company to be running to you all the time?
Lincoln, you are very wicked and you are only on this business for money with no passion.

Hello chiefinalowo,
you're funny, try to remain on point.

I'm here to handle any negative comment, having the conversation online is okay, there's some record of the interaction, and other people can see that i did things correctly by making the client sign a contract.
From some replies on this thread, i noticed that some people are angry just because they want to be, and will continue spewing vitriol as long and as often as they can.

Maybe, it's best to move the interaction offline.

Cheers

DualCore1:
One can only play "god" with ignorant people. There are just a few ignorant people out there now so the "web developers" are trying hard to squeeze as much as they can get from them before their ignorance wears off.

What integrity is there to your name? You deliver a job in 7 months when the ETA was 2 months ...and you still haven't delivered all the requested features. Let me take a wild guess, you're waiting for a real web developer to develop the plugin(s) and put online as opensource with that shiny "download" button.

What passion do you have? You choke your clients with ridiculous terms that show you're just out to milk them. You've done nothing strange. Nigerians have been preying on the ignorance of their fellow brothers and sisters since 1960.

DualCore1 why offending and why the aggressive tone? don't get emotional on this.
i've explained with facts my own side of the story. I've nothing to hide and can supply tons of Skype chats and e-mail correspondence to further defend my case. Kindly go through the contract link embedded in my response to the OP.
I respond in a positive light, even when it's a bad situation.

Get it right, i'm not the type of dev u're referring to here.

Thanks for your time.

Afam4eva:
I really don't I understand how a developer will build a site for someone and still reserve the right to own the codes. What exactly does that mean? I think the client made abgrave mistake by not going through the contract papers carefully before signing because as it is, based on what Lincolnpix has said and if true, will win this one in a court of law.

Having said that, we developers should try as much as possible to employ some level of kindness when dealing with people. I know its a business but we shouldn't go to any length to rip off clients who may not understand what they are signing up for.

@Afam4eva thanks for your time.
Well regarding reserving the right to own the codes, there's nothing wrong with that.
The most important thing i did was adding a clause on the contract that protects my copyright. It also address the copyrights the client will retain.

Most "web designers and developers" are familiar with copyright law. We make sure our web designs are not infringing on other’s work. We purchase the proper licenses for fonts and photos. And we run the copy through plagiarism checkers. But what about the code we write?

Choose to ignore copyright and you leave yourself and your agency vulnerable to legal battles over code ownership.

Cheers.

Morning all,

Hi, Paschal, i hear you.

thanks to all contribuitors on this thread @adewasco2k, @Dmayor7, @Afam4evCraigston, @spikesC

Relationships with clients are always tricky, neither of you are mind readers, so what you come up with and what the client sees in their head may not always be the same thing. And then comes the feedback.

I’m a very trusting person with a huge heart, and over the years I’ve been stiffed out of tens of thousands of dollars.
Not to mention all the time and energy I lost beating myself up for being naive or trying to get people to just honour their agreements and pay for what they received.

No matter what you sell or what industry you’re in, you’re going to experience negative word of mouth (this post is my first experience) it just happens.
Would try to use this negative word of mouth as an opportunity.

Subset is talking complete and utter nonsense.

My answer to the OP is very simple..
I'm not giving him access to the Hosting cpanel because i dont want him to copy my codes, the site is not a ready made script, i designed and developed from scratch and this aspect was previously addressed in the contract.

Guys, to explain my own side of the story attached is a screenshot of the copyright section on the contract with with Paschal's company.

My one cent Nairalanders.... I ask that everyone reserve judgement until all the facts have come to light. No need ruining a someone's name by jumping to conclusions.

Paschal, try once in your life to be honest.

Cheers,
Lincoln Gbenga Olagbaju (armed with integrity and passion)

All,

For the last 2 months, we have been very busy in building an online "resume builder platform" and now it is ready for thorough testing and scrutiny. We are searching for honest, sharp opinions from knowledgeable people in order to tell us what we are doing wrong and, hopefully, what we are doing right.

We want to build something that real people will love to use as much as we are enjoying in building it, as simple as that!.
I hope you will start testing ResumeMonitor as soon as possible. We will be eagerly waiting for your feedback.

Hi All,
Today, in partnership with Organising For Lagos, LagosLabs Web Agency launched a brand new campaign website for candidate Jimi Agbaje. I was asked to work on the project as a consultant for Jimi Agbaje's bid for the Lagos State 2015 Governorship position.

LagosLabs does not have a corporate political party affiliation.

Hi,

I am preparing to launch an Online Resume Builder that Nairalanders might be interested in, so I thought I'd share it. As an independent stand-alone resume, your online Resume won’t limit your job applications to a single job board, if interested... http://www.plentiplenti.com/resume-builder/

You've made your bed, now you must lie on it!

Congrats

Seun: Some quick reviews:
@lincolnpix: classy, but do your prospective clients know what "responsive web design" means. I would use the term "mobile-friendly"

Good catch thanks for the heads-up.
