And never paid me for doing the web site.

My programmer has been paid to date and hasn't charged me lately for the final fix.
A reason I hate to drop him. And as I said he's reasonable and lives in the same city, so that's a big plus.
I also think one of the reasons he hasn't charged is he likes the niche and believes it will be a long-term money maker for both.
I just hate to start over as my budget is draining away quickly.
I understand he's working several jobs, looking for a better one and has some ill family members, but I need to get this site up and making money now.
Once that's up any running, the goal is to create blogs to generate traffic.

GF's brother offered to do it for free, then wanted a percentage then said he didn't want to do it.
Guy 3 offered to do it for $150 in Word Press as he just retired and it would be a learning experience as he had been doing city government sites and private business would be different.
I realize the site has some complicated issues. It's a business directory broken down by areas of a state and then other vendors would be listed by that area.
I'm just tired of hearing, "I'm just so busy at the moment I had to put your project on the back burner. Time to find someone who can deliver now at a reasonable price.

The site was OK, but I couldn't edit anything.
On each page there were small pictures with descriptive text next to the picture.
The text was 10 point black Arial. There was no way to change color, size or font.
Also you couldn't have paragraph breaks. Reminds me of an old database memo field.
I know have a guy writing the site in WordPress an assures me I can have all I desire in the text.
At some later date when the site is generating revenue I want to go back to PHP.
However the new guy knows nothing of PHP.
Can PHP do it all?
Was the guy I hired not that good at PHP or am I stuck with boring descriptions?
Thanks for any answers

So. let's see, way back when like 2010 you had already done sites for Sally.
Then in 2012, you come on taklking about a site that has been in development for 2 years (so 2010) that you were having issues with regarding programmers, etc.
2013, you are talking about the same site, same issues.
2014, again, the same thing.
You haven't learned what PHP or CSS is in those 4 years? But you have the absolute gall to say something like this about someone else?

Oh, btw, MS Access uses SQL throughout. The most typical way to access an Access database from a site or application would probably be by utilizing SQL pass through. Just thought I would throw that in there.
So, how does it feel to drive for 4 years and go absolutely no where?
