So I understand "the process" of design, and how maddening it can be.
Having said that, you can contact the three or four designers I've hired here on GFY and they will ALL tell you that I paid immmediately, and well, sometimes even over-paying and bumping up myself their quoted prices 'cause I didn't they were fair to the designer. Does this make me rare? Maybe. It also makes me a great fucking client!
But what you say is 100% true, sadly. Many people 'take advantage' or are all about the 'best deal' and nickel-and-diming you to death. Not cool. Understandable, from a certain point of view, but ultimately not cool. I feel for the designers, as my posts in this thread should show.  |
0 against you or your sites. i just was walked on for years and years. alot of people you can make them the best site for months straight, then one week you are sick and they go around and start calling you a slacker.
or you put 14 hours into a design, have it approved and then have them backtrack.
it is a tough job. and all people do is walk over designers because they can. but i just dont put up with it anymore.
im so very thankful to my new clients this past year. they are understanding and always willing to make things easier on me no matter what the circumstance. this makes my job alot easier.
everyone bashes designers EVERYONE so you must understand why i take it extremely personally.
