At the request of readers: fun of the web-studio

His first public site I made for my department at the university. This site was terrible, but I liked it. The site was in pure html and updated hands. However, it is updated infrequently. Not sure also that he was generally in demand. But I did not care, I made ​​a site.

His first major site I did when arranged in a web -studio. I just found the old site, and said - make a new. It was my job all month. Regional portal for the construction of. Surprisingly, I even wrote a while my first parser, as one client was taking the information in the catalog in Excel. So I passed the exam and left in place.

Almost in the first months of my work in web studio rearrangement occurred in the army of designers. Young led a one-time manager of the studio of a leading designer, betrothed her to another office. And another leading designer, part-time drug addict and alcoholic, struck his head with a hammer to one of the technicians in a state of delirium tremens at home. And the furniture in our room was so that me and my webmaster had to sit with his back to this designer. And he came to work with a hangover is almost always a couple of hours to fill up on the desktop. So I felt with the rear of a very uncomfortable. But the chef did a month later drove him. And we were basically no designers, with the exception of the trainee, but no new injuries.

When I left the web studio, I had a salary of 230 bucks for a four-day. And when he returned for six months, I put 600 bucks for a 4- hour working day. Incidentally, I did not call numbers - it was an assessment of the owner. And at that moment I realized that I became a professional.

When I left the web studio, the year is not involved in site. Thought for some reason that 's how I break the corporate ethics, if I make websites, working on a. Although no one I did not put any conditions. However, hunger is not my aunt and I had to return to production sites.

I was not a first client, but two. My godfather in the business world - wholesaler of computer equipment. And derevopererabotchik. Design a website to draw myself, the other - my aspiring designer. Both options were bad. But they were received by the client. For the first design did not play any role, and the second and the site was not really needed. But remember, I was almost finished with joy for his first orders.

Once I was dragged into the development of video chat. Then just started a fashion for half-naked girls on live screen. I spent six months on a thorough study of the topic. And when he had already made ​​a video chat, investors quarreled and fled, leaving behind a pile of debts. Analyzing the nature of the problem I was very surprised, as you can so easily apply to such a serious investment. In fact, more than a million rubles was ejected into the air, not counting debt is almost the same amount. I think that the practice of adolescent warmth, like a good experience none of the unnecessary.

Major breakthrough came when I was attracted to work on the site for a leading business magazine in the city. I did it for free. In barter, which was then successfully used in the form of three bands in the same journal in the year. It was the first and last in my life work on the site, when brought to the creation of TK -party specialist. The site was a good, but of TK it was almost nothing left, as is usually the case when working on large site. The magazine no longer exists, but it was his work on the site gave me a real start in life, when they began to come, to call clients with the words 'you must have some tough guys, once we saw your layout in the magazine '.

The most expensive site happened quite by accident - the client walking down the street and saw a sign on the development of web sites (not even us, as a partner, we have absorbed ) and asked to create a complex site for real estate in 4 languages. I prihuel of puzzles, but decided it did. The cost of the site was more than two thousand euro. In total, we were busy with this site for about six months. When done, the client because they really did not take advantage and. The preservation of the domain, but when one tried to call the client, it is no longer serviced by this number.

On average, every tenth site are in demand not. Paid and not taken. Such partly paid and left the client site for a year typed pieces 07.05. Some empty, some filled. For some clients occasionally rang, but the situation does not change. Since last year I began to put on such sites glanders, to compensate for at least Hosting.

One anonymous caller began to swear. I could not understand it until he figured out that the claims of our daydzhestnomu site with news for the region. The man found his own press release and tried to shake the right. I explained the essence of the project, Comrade efface himself and said goodbye. However, these free projects have brought us the second largest order in the Forums. At least that is how the customer explained his choice in our favor. And not because our proposal was half the price.

The only person I fired his entire career with the scandal, was my web programmer. For three months he has done work site instead of ten and a half of planning, for the most part engaged in the programming of its turn-based online game. The funny thing is that a couple of years later, called his mother and tried to bring something to us, taking us for a completely different office. Looks like the son has not vouchsafed to explain that he was fired, giving us for the current job.

I could never really explain to relatives what I was doing and quickly stopped these attempts. They had somehow understood the word ' advertising ', but ' sites ' put them into a stupor. Similarly, it is now easier to explain that I travel company than the web-studio. Although this is a business of his wife. But the fact that people do not understand scares them.

Like pricing policy in the region stand, but I am constantly confronted with a lack of understanding. People frown in response to the price and link to their relatives, which could make it a site for 100 bucks. Previously, I was trying to explain something, now, just send to their relatives became. Maybe I'm not really right, and Bob will do a better. By the way, sometimes come across a very responsible Vasey, making high-quality product. But to do for the same price, I can not on its objective reasons - I have a production of more.

In the beginning was considered to be the two thousandth sites by the number of pages. Until now, some customers are trying to bring down the price, hoping that the number of pages they have minimal. Until they do not reach, that is to start production must spend time and money. A number of pages - a piece will come with time and depends essentially only on kontentschika.

Early on in my career I realized that the same site could in fact be different money. The margin is mostly nonsense client. What is more stupid than the client, then the greater the improvements, and thus less likely to pay adequate. Therefore, it is better to vlupit with a stock than to beg for pennies on the revised. And that's a good project and good client will almost always be adequately. So the price of gosproekty on the Internet I have never been surprised. mark-up there.

Have never been to the site and ordered the company did not call you at a meeting before the signing of the contract. To pozyrit on you. It was the most stupid and incomprehensible meeting. Even on the recommendation of. You come, you wait 10 minutes before the hour and a half. Then he enters the room first person who looks at you briefly, in passing, asked something and you say goodbye. Why was this necessary? . But the ritual of the first night firmly observed among managers.


The most - same question from a customer - is the ' who cares ', to the fact that we need to collect this stuff and do more than make a fuss about the client's end of contract. After all, did the site no longer laksheri is a shovel, which the client will then pull Salvage. And it's much more to be interested in the completion of work on the site. Synergy in common, but rarely - most often, or shaking your client, customer or you. You can not love all customers equally. You just have to do a good job.
