My apologies for clogging your inbox today - I know this is the third message - but I just read an excellent blog post by Jen Kramer and it's worth sharing.
The post is about how some developers will take on any job regardless of their experience, promise the client the world and yet, have no idea what they are doing. As a result, the client often suffers and in many cases incorrectly blames the CMS when they should blame the developer. I have found this to be true with not only Joomla, but with WordPress and Drupal as well. The best way to handle a situation like this, where a potential client wants a site that is beyond your ability, is to contact your fellow members at Joomla NYC. Don't try to do it all and above all, be honest with the client. Never promise what you cannot do. http://www.compassdesigns.net/joomla-blog/how-can-joomla-ensure-that-quality-support-is-available-to-clients -- Stephen Britton Technology Consultant sbrit...@gmail.com Twitter: @StephenBritton ph: 914-661-0040 "The most important thing that I learned from Steve is to always follow your heart. He believed that the only way to do truly great work is to adore what you are doing." - Andy Hertzfeld, member of original Macintosh team.
