Slash and burnt
Slashdot has launched a competition for the redesign of their website. Andy Rutledge thinks that it’s a shot at getting the design for cheap. And he’s right, this undermines professional designers.
We’ve sometimes had enquiries from companies that asked us to come up with ‘a couple of designs’ before placing work with us. Needless to say, we didn’t, and we didn’t get the work. Because customers like this aren’t worth the hassle: they obviously don’t understand the effort involved, nor do they appreciate that professional web design exists.
As Seth Godin writes “If the customer is wrong, they’re not your customer any more.”
