They’re Word-Pressed To Show Their “Skills”
Client: “I know how easy it is to set this up; I used WordPress a couple of years ago. You just need to add a couple of plugins and copy my content. It takes no effort or skill. Frankly, I think you should do it for free.”
Me: “Sorry, I can’t go lower than my already-reduced rate of £20 per hour.”
Client: “Can you at least come down to £10 per hour?”
Me: “Sorry, £20 is as low as I can go.”
Client: “Fine. I’ll do it myself.”
A couple of days later…
Client: “Look, whatever, I’ll pay your ridiculous rates. Here’s what I need.”
Me: “Okay, great. I’ll get started first thing on Monday.”
Client: “I need it by Monday.”
It was Saturday.
After I read the content, the client claimed that they specialized in e-commerce and web development. Judging by the difficulty they had tweaking a WordPress site, something doesn’t add up here.
