OK, I'm writing this out of frustration...seems no one knows the difference between the two. Yea, maybe I'm ticked since I just lost a job to another web 'designer' - she self admittedly acknowledges she DOES NOT KNOW HTML!!!
But what is worse, her not knowing or that her new client doesn't know...the difference - AARGH!
I bet she did deliver a better price, but then they didn't really understand what Content Management means; all they know is that a sister group used her services for their site; so what if it's totally stagnant the day it's done.
Guess it's enough if it's pretty...yippy!!!
Our intent wasn't to make a bunch of money from an org we are a part of; it was to enable them to have a useful site they could manage themselves and not pay someone for every change. Guess it didn't help to just deliver a hard copy proposal and not get to speak to the powers that be; but when the president called me with the news (which included the fact that we not only delivered the MOST PROFESSIONAL proposal, we also had the MOST PROFESSIONAL person answering our phones, all leading to the big BUT - she absolutely did not know what I was talking about when I asked if she could give me some details. Did the winning party provide content management and an email newsletter service as part of the proposal...she wasn't sure.
Anyway...just in the mood to bitch; we all lose jobs and expect that as part of doing business but it seems that people would be catching on to this stuff; Dreamweaver does NOT make a person a web developer, period!
For REAL web development and some great Denver Web Design (!); visit us when you have a chance. My tagline - We build websites so that your neighbor's son doesn't have to!
