Topic: Have you ever had a custom job done?

I don't usually need to have a custom job done since VldP is so easy to customize, but there are times  you need a feature that usually a layman can't do themselves. Vlad to the rescue. The cost and turn around time is amazing. The side benefit to having a custom job is what you learn. Vlad is very forthcoming in explaining what was done and why. In doing so, you learn a little more about CSS, a little more about variables and have a wealth of new information to help you complete other custom work on your own.

Thanks again for an excellent job. It was well worth it.

Re: Have you ever had a custom job done?

Custom job "made" by vld
I asked vlad to to some work for me and install some mods since I cant do jack sh*t myself. However, I´m not sure that he has done this by him self. They´ve done the forum, wich looks like crap(this is done just one hour or so ago), not the same colours in the forum as on the site, not even saved in UTF8!!, the online list (on the right side, 4 pics) was ordered to shift random every minute(for all online that is), shifts when people comes online. And finally an randombutton in the main nav menu. And yes, they are finished. Vlad confirmed just now.

Remember this; I´ve done pictures, pointing out EXACTLY how I want things done, so its very hard to miss. Very. I especially like the randombutton. Try that one. Very professional.(the green "msn" icon on the right)
www.singlefield.se
Now, I ordered this january the 7:th. 2-4 days vlad said. What date is it today? 19:th? Err..

Do you have any professional comment on this vlad?
And yes, I´m pretty pissed. Need I say more?

Re: Have you ever had a custom job done?

Franky I don't remember a time when you weren't pissed after any customizations (since you've already had some done in the past). What makes us different from most other companies though is that we work with our clients until they're satisfied. If you check your ticket, you'll see that all of your issues have been addressed to. I do need to point out however that this is the last customization we do for you. You're more than welcome to hire a freelancer or third party company who will guide you through every step of the customization process.

I'm surprised. What has made vlad custom jobs beneficial for me is that he works with me. I'm usually a pest when I get a custom job wanting to know how everything was done. Why? I know that future updates may require me to use a different template for that version, so understanding how the custom job was done helps me take care of any future customizations. When I get stuck, vlad helped me out with no charge. If it didn't turn out the way I vision, vlad worked with me.

It isn't a perfect world...I get some of my customers screaming at me even though I'm a free site. When I think I had enough, I smile and remember the few times I may of been a  little testy with vlad yet he maintained his professionalism and never held a grudge. I try to use that same demeanor when  a customer is screaming at me because he isn't happy that my site doesn't have a feature he wants.

You are a good guy, Christopher, so hang in there with us and if we can help, we will.

Re: Have you ever had a custom job done?

I really dont give a crap Vlad, and my name isnt Franky wink I pay you to do what I ask you to do. And I do supply you with very detalied instructions. Hard to miss.
Yeah isnt it funny how things changed around until I posted something here??*lol*
Dont give me that crap. And yes, I am very thurral(or what the word is) pedantic, because I will not take crap from anyone when running a site professionally charging people to be members there. Thats my responsibility.

And yes, its not the first time I *** about you telling me you´ve done something and you havent. And Yes, I do know how to update a page. Jesus, all this energy to get this **** things done man. Why not do it right in the first place?
I really think, and I mean this, its very convinient having you doing all the mods, since it is your script-who knows it better than you? But it needs to be done exactly what I wish, otherwise its no bloody point, is there?
If you do not understand(and its not the first time) what I want, if I where in your clothes, I would like to be more than sure to get things right.
I´ll probably order som mods again, and you´ll here my **** and moning until it comes out the way I want.
Thats it.

I don't see how anything has changed. Your mods were being worked on and we never refused to complete it.

And on a side note, next time I will not bother filtering out your cursing and will instead suspend your account AND software license due to violation of our TOS. This is your official warning. If you have a problem, learn to express it in a professional manner.

Thanks db, yes I think I´m fairly okey according to others anyway.
I want to appologize for using any cursing, had no idea that one could get suspended(!) and removed from a
payed commercial licence!

But my forum looks like chinese graffitti vlad.
And now you say that this isnt your responsibility - its a 3:d party software. Ask them. Right. Since you knew this from the beginning, and you also knew that I cannot do these things my self, what on earth do you think I hired you for? Hmm.. So I payed you for installing this, bearing in mind you knowing all this about utf8 encodings, and it looks like *notverygoodatall*, and thats fine?

Thats what I mean by getting things done here. It does to a point, then someone assumes something.
Hmm..
Anyone have a solution to my problem?

Re: Have you ever had a custom job done?

christopher...we may want to move your request to the appropriate place on the forum since this is the  Testimonials area. I will finish my thought. I looked at your forum, but nothing stood out as a problem but that may be  because I only can read/speak English. Could you be more specific by providing a link where the problem is. When you say 3rd party software are you talking about the forum?  I think that is punbb you are using. There are a number of punbb users here that may have a better clue than I. But I would post your details in another forum and maybe someone here has a solution. If you provide a link to the problem, I will at least take a look  even though I never used punbb.

Re: Have you ever had a custom job done?

I've had dozens of custom jobs done and they've all turned out great and the price is good.
My site is so amazing from all the custom work and stands out from my competitors. My members love it and I notice keep returning more often, which is what I had hoped and its working.

I just think of anything I want to add and send it to Vlad and they do it. I love it because I'm not a programmer.
I'm very happy with their work and Im picky when it comes to my site. cool

I *agree* with Chris!
I paid for integration (forum installation and member's database synchronization) BUT they didn't make me a foot massage and hair depilation!!!!!!!!!!!!
I payed $19!!! I could live half month in Bangladesh for this money! Or I could buy one and half pizza at Domino's!
It is really surprising that we can't blame somebody for two hundred bucks! I thought it's exactly what I was paying for...

Sounds very fascinating radioact, but you´re missing the point.
