Ask yourself this: Why whould anyone be interested in adify.net ?

Spot on!

I think the market for designer/developer won't disappear but surely soon 1 will be able to do the job of 3. That is because people like us develop automated plugins, codes and systems which makes it easy for anyone to be a "web designer" or "web developer" Better make a 5 years plan and also something to fall on incase you don't make it in this industry.

Not a good idea, don't waste your time. There are many themes and booking plugins available at a very low cost. If you are not a skilled designer and coder then you will just waste your time.

You are right, these days it seems that both started to merge and there are higher expectations from a front end developer. I agree that basic back end skills are bonus but I don't think it is a good idea to ditch the back end developer's job and load everything on front end developer. It might be alright with basic projects for a front end developer to handle both sides but for more complex projects front end and back end must not merge I think.

Hi, Premiere Pro CC, it is affordable and you can create superb videos. You can find some really good tutorials on Youtube. Good luck

Well done Aled. Great news. I am happy you got your money without vandalizing client's server or pulling files and slap up a holding page as some suggested. Great.

11 months old thread, lol In the last year we had 9 clients moving away from Hibu/Yell.

I agree. We do at least 4 projects per month and use a 25 image downloads subscription from shutterstock, great images and huge choice. If we have to do a website for a local kebab shop or a restaurant (example) then we will send our Peter with our very expensive camera to take some pictures but we still use sutterstock to decorate the site with goodies such as nice icons and info boxes etc.

Aled, well done mate. Good luck. I am sure you will get your money and you won't even get any legal issues. Good weekend guys

Unbelievable! Have a good weekend guys. .

Mate, you must not access one's server to cause any kind of damage. Please think about this properly before you take such actions. I have a full time dedicated litigation solicitor for my company and please take my word when I say that Fuzzy's advice can even put you in JAIL if your client hires a simple solicitor to put a case against you. Please think about it.

Don't do this unless you have a proper contract mentioning you own the design and the files. If you do what Fuzzy is suggesting then it takes just a simple letter to put a online vandalism case on you, claim compensation from your for damaging his website and involving the police. And don't forget that it is very easy traceable who does what on FTP servers/folders. Fuzzy is suggesting to access HIS server, not yours but HIS server to cause damage. Think about it. Good luck

Hi Aled, If the amount is not much then just leave it as it is not worth the hassle and definitely not worth for you to be occupied with chasing on daily bases. If the amount is big, say over £1000 then do not let this go. Take a screenshot of the text message, do not reply by text and reply only by email. Do explain to him that you have full right to the whole design and parts of the website unless they pay up. If they ignore to pay then claim the money via small claims court. Do explain to him that you are not out there to damage his personal or his company's reputation, and tell him that if he keeps threaten you then you will register his threat also with the police. And if he does then you must go to the police and register the threat. But before letting it go so far do try to talk to him again and make him understand. Good luck mate
