Here is an update on a post I made last Friday titled A Small Business Excursion Into the World of Small Business Web Design.

Just to recap, Toni wants to launch a new website but we don’t have time at the moment to spend designing it so we decided to go to a local web design company and my initial impressions were fairly pessimistic.

A week later and I am even more pessimistic. We did tell them that we wanted to move fairly quickly on this project and so the designs were quite simple. We also explained to them the concept behind the site and the look and feel we wanted for the site.

They did send us the first rough drafts but they were really bad.

So Toni emailed them and made some fairly pointed comments and some suggestions. They didn’t get the email. So we sent it again … they didn’t get the email. So we sent it again to several different addresses and this time they did get the email.

It’s now Friday morning - a week since my last post about this - and we haven’t heard from them.

Sometimes I really get frustrated by people who can walk the walk and talk the talk but can’t produce the goods.

I wonder what they thought we meant when we said that we wanted to move quickly on this?
