Beware of Global Acces.
Global Access Contacts me to design a new front end site for them. The deal is $1600.00
For the Front End Design.
The FLash Design
The template break down page for them to integrate text information to.
Before even the HTML process I went through over 20 revisions of the design. I worked with Yo Hann Lynn on the sites production.
Alas the design is finished. I get approval to cut it up.
I cut it up. Guess what! They want it recut with text removed on the front end so it can be done with Hypertext instead.
Sure thats fine. I am very explicit about the nav bar area these area's are always tricky and before I cut it up I ask vehemently the Navbars are correct right? Yes they are fine! I remove text re orient the design and start cutting it up again.
But wait there is more.
The Navbar that was approved now has to be all redone, new button add's. Thats after I cut the site a 2nd time.
The Front end page is finally done after almost a week of adjustments. I get to work on the flash. I make a minor flash presentation that fits the design, its functional and I was explicit about the information that was to go in that part of the order.
So I am pretty much done right? Nope they redefine what the completion is. So they tell me hey you goto take the curtrent information from our website and integrate the text content to!
Huh? Orly? Awright...
Now mind you folks I did not charge extra for it. To keep things amicable I went and did it at no cost.
At any rate the site is completed, the guy wants to point out tables that I was told to copy from his site and put it in the new one.
I do not know if he does not have the money to pay me, won't pay me, thinks he can kick a designer around or what not. I put alot of time into this guy and his project. Yes the project was late largely due to requested fixes and changes that were incredibly minor to extensively major.
I was enormously respectful during the whole process and patient till today. Where I called em a fucken crook.

Now even on this I reduced the price to $1600.00 total!
I recieved $800.00 and no matter how hard I tried for this project to get completed there was always a funny hang up some sort of fix, or correction. This guy took me to the full length of my patience. If you done business with me you would know I am very respectful and work to make everything come together smoothly.
Here is the Finished Project:

At this point I do not expect this guy to come forward and do whats right and pay me the final amount due. Which is only a lousy 800 bucks.
I do not reccomend doing business with this company. If he is gonna rip a guy off like me...
Oh my what he can do to you when it comes to handling any of your transactions.
