Haha – I offended a po’ wittle web designer today.
It all started in April when the owner of the website granted me access and told me to improve the site and get it ranking for an event that was happening in September.
Well, Mr Web Designer discovered almost 5 months after I optimized the site and added new plugins. He went in and undid everything I did and then sent me and the owner a scathing email telling us to stay out of his creation.
The web designer felt threatened that an outsider was able to get his creation ranked better and faster than he could. And that made him extremely mentally unstable. And sadly his actions against me effected the client.
Now the site has no optimization and the event happens in less than 30 days.
So this web designer is now costing his client more money, acting like a spoiled brat and has locked me and the owner out of the site.
This is probably now the 15th time in the last 4 or 5 years that I’ve come across this behavior from web designers. They seem to think that just because they built it, that no one else can work on it. No one else can step in and improve it. What they fail to realize is it’s the person who paid to have the site built who calls the shots.
This is precisely what motivated myself and my coauthor Paul Douglas to write #OptimizeThis 4 years ago. We were so tired of web designers ripping people off, not properly optimizing their sites and acting like it was their sandbox and no one else could play in it.
If your web designer treats you like this…it’s time for a new service.
If you haven’t read #OptimizeThis yet, I highly recommend you grab a copy today.
