Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

...they will LOSE customers.. Too bad they don't get that..

they already are. they're starting to field calls from angry consumers, and now understanding what i tried to explain throughout the scoping phase of the project. their may be some light at the end of the tunnel yet.

...I would have let the client go before putting out a site that cannot be viewed across all browsers and resolutions...

as a startup business, it is unfortunate that i can't pick and choose my clients just yet. this one in particular had plenty of cash to part with, and will be a long-term customer so i believe this problem will eventually be rectified, even if it means they swallow some humble pie and reverse their decision.

...I found that it was WAAAAAY easier making my WordPress site look like my Zen Cart store than it was trying to get the embedding features of WOZ working...

really? perhaps i jumped to a conclusion before giving it enough time. working on 2 wordpress-only projects now so i guess i will learn more as i go and hopefully agree with you at some point down the road on this point : )

cheers

I get this.. but as a startup business myself, my only calling card is the work I have done.. So I want to make sure the work I do is work I can show to potential clients.. Please dont' take this wrong, but this site in it's current form isn't anything I would be able to show to a potential client.

so i believe this problem will eventually be rectified, even if it means they swallow some humble pie and reverse their decision.

Hopefully they are starting to see the err in their decision and will let you do the right thing..

Yep.. Styling a WordPress blog is pretty easy peezy..

you are so right regarding "examples of previous work". guess i hadn't given that side of things much thought (from a consumers point of view - i had thought about it from a developers point of view and was initially more worried about what my peers might say!).

fortunately (or unfortunately) the only clients i've dealt with since have not realised it due to their higher screen res, i guess it's the ones i haven't heard from that might be the silent majority.

anyway, thanks for your input : )
