Why Tim Denning Got Scammed On His Website Design. Twice.
He thinks he knows why he got scammed but he’s wrong.
Tim Denning wrote a post saying he got scammed on his website design.
Twice.
He thinks it’s because he’s a sucker.
But that’s not why he got scammed.
I know, because I’ve spent 26 years cleaning up the crap created by people who “think” they’re designers because they know a platform.
When I built my first site in 1995, Microsoft Frontpage was my Achille’s Heel. People would take some stupid course in Frontpage and hang out a designer’s shingle. Because yay, they’re “certified.” Sigh.
Then people like me had to clean up the sh*t they created.
Now it’s Wordpress, Squarespace and Wix.
The internet is full of Basement Bobs, Webmistresses and Tech Bros who think knowing how to use a platform makes them a designer. lol. No.
Knowing how to cut meat with a knife doesn’t make you a surgeon.
Usually, the site sits there like a dead fish.
Doesn’t convert and it doesn’t get traffic.
And that’s if they even finish it.
