Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

It's the everything for nothing mentality. There are people who the McDonalds drive through style of web 'creation' (not design) is all they need.

I understand what Rii is saying, it's not design, it's fill in the blanks. Their site wording could of been chosen a hell of alot better.

I have no problem with it. They just need to be more transparent with what they are doing. By 1) stop calling themselves designers, and (i'm assuming they don't tell their clients that there are hundreds of companies with the same template already) 2) inform their clients that what they are getting is an out of the box product that is already in use the world over.

You will find most producers of material do not disclose how they went about creating it. Or how many people own that product. That's like asking MacDonalds to make your burger unique to stand out from all the other generic food they make . But it's pretty ridicules that these people are still up. Why hasn't anyone done anything about it? False and misleading information much.

Cousin of mine is a mechanic and loves his nissans. Bit of a hori, and rices up cars a lot - does show cars and such. But always very tidy under the bonnet.

Had many cars along the way, batty, E36 325, evo 7, 180sx. But my favourite is his old skidder.

Mean picture from his FB:

He sold that though, and imported a black r32 GT-R.

 

One thing which makes me quietly cream my pants is when the wheel sticks out past the guard, just a tiny bit, or is flush with the guard.

Deep dish rims with a colour that complements the cars exterior, and paint/panels as straight as a male pornstar.

Fucking love it, and props to him importing a GTR. Only way to do it after owning a 32 GTST, is making the jump to a 32 GTR.


EDIT: OMG, is that negative camber I see on the rear wheels? Jesus Hori, it's hard to look away now.

That's completely different to what I am arguing. They explicitly say that they are website designers and that they will design you a website. The very notion that they will design you something creates an understanding with the client that what they are getting was made for them. It's similar to having anything designed for you, whether it's fashion or your house and realising that what you have got is something that was just picked from a shelf and is already in the hands of a hundred other people.

You go to a designer to have something designed, created for a specific purpose. It's true, that website is probably serving it's purpose, but it was more than likely provided under the pretense that i was 'designed' for the client when it was just picked from a list. If they want to do that then they should call themselves 'website providers' not designer.

so who's winning?

Not the clients, that's for sure.
 

Enough said.If the customer is happy with the end result, so what?

 
Ignorance is bliss huh.
It's the same as hiring an artist to paint your portrait, then he takes a photo but charges you for a painting. Understand?
It's OK if they say that is what they are doing and chage accordingly (less than half the price they are charging).
You think it's OK to rip people off? You like getting ripped off?

It leads to people like retardo/emrico talking like this.

I do talk like that.
I don't have a WoW metaphor to explain it to you, besides, issues like this rarely bother people living in their parents basement.

Let me put it this way, they are selling something saying they created it, and giving the customer something they did not. Geddit?

[Obble]

That insult is nearly as bad as the adverts at the bottom of the page.

[Emrico1]

No basement?

You know I love you Bobziolla.

[Obble]

Only Americans have basements :<

[Obble]

I think you mean Australians.

[Emrico1]

Don't worry, I'm unemployed and play games all day too.

Rape dungeon?

[Obble]

You can have my job, then ill game all day.

[kilabee]

You could join the team.Lead designer!

[Emrico1]

I could be in charge of copy paste! Awesome.

[Virus.]

I think you mean Australians.

Looks like someone missed the joke.

[Spork]

I think you mean Australians.

shut the fuck up Obble I'll smash your head in you mean person you it was Austrian not Australian!!!1111

[/wayoverthetopdonotgetthejokebecauseimaustrianrage]

[Emrico1]

Pretty sure he was Australian

[Pyromanik]

The customer is being blatantly lied to. They are told they are having a website designed for them- for their company when all they're doing is taking pre-designed websites that are already in use by hundreds of other companies and adding their info to it.

It's basically fraud.

 
Yeh, but the client that it attracts is most likely the kind that used to ring me up and ask what they could get for $100.

[Virus.]

Yeah, scratch that. Wikipedia got it wrong.

[Obble]

Looks like someone missed the joke.

 
Hey .Virus

LOL!

[nick247]

I'm unemployed and play games all day too. Rape dungeon?

 
No, your dungeon sounds safe, unless there are things going on that you havent added?

[Retardobot]

Know your memes, Virus.

[Spork]

Yeah, scratch that. Wikipedia got it wrong.

I thought you were one of those users whom are all about 4chan?

[Emrico1]

I raped myself today, I said no but I knew I wanted it
