What I have been doing the last 2 months !
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2004 10:04 pm
I have been building a website for a travel company in central London, England.
I took on a 3 month contract to overhaul their site, I am two months in but due to pressure to get it Live ( which is explainable as their site was awful disgusting ) I had to go Live tonight
So the sites up, with many errors but certainly better than what was there. I have been making templates, ie. making say a group 6 pages that are all perfect, they link to eachother, all graphics are sitting sweet.
I then send that template to some guys this travel company has working in Delhi India for peanuts. You all heard the saying " Pay peanuts, you get monkeys ", well in fact they truly seem to be
They made I guess around 300 pages for me based on my template, all you had to do was change text and swap images, a lil bit of dreamweaver and a tiny bit of photoshop as I sent them the psd's so all they had to do was change a text layer then save for web ????
So all 300 pages come back misaligned, linked up wrong and oh man the text these guys pasted in to sell you a holiday, heres one example:
"Los Angeles, mix Hollwood glamour with Gang warfare. Sunny weather but big traffic jams".
Bet you cant wait to go to LA huh ?
So the last week I have been trying to correct everything, had to go live, still has many errors and horrible top navigation, this will be fixed soon, but you can book a flight online which is a pretty cool thing
If any of you are booking flights, take a look, send an enquiry and mention that your from .MAP and I will push for a cheaper deal for you.
