Bukovynian “business”

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 2:58 pm

Business in my header is in upper comas, because the way that some firms treat with web-developers is at least not ethic. I don’t want to offend such beautiful place as Bukovyna, I think this can be anywhere, but two cases, which I was involved in were connected with the co-working with such firms, which were based in Chernivtsi.
In both cases client (according to himself) had lack of money, they were praying to make websites for them for not a big price, but requirements and permanent specifications were of the level of company, which pays well.

One ofthe two websites I made long ago, using only HTML, I updated it few times and it was my copyright text with e-mail address in the bottom of the page.
That’s it: www.legenda.com.ua
As you see now, my copyright is deleted, now there is:
Webmaster: Hodan B.I. , Site support
But this “webmaster” is lazy or non-competent, cuz when we look at the source we see in <head>…</head> :
<meta name=”author” content=”Osipov Vladimir”>

Second website was developed by the “Olvia” webstudio, where I used to work.
It is located here www.migovo.com.ua.
When we created it there was link to Olvia’s website, but now we see “B y M a x w e l l V a z o v s k y” in the footer. Who is this one? - hell knows. Maximum work he did was changing some texts - and I doubt it gives him rights to tell that this website was created by him. And he was also lazy or just didn’t know, that in <head>…</head> is
<meta name=”author” content=”Olvia Group”>
and no Maxwells mentioned there.

I’ve mentioned this when recently one friend of mine asked me to have a look at these websites and prepare the commercial proposal for SEO service. When I looked at “old” well known for me pages I was embarassed by impudence and disagreed to co-work with them again. Of course it can be that the bosses don’t know about this, perhaps they just asked these “Maxwells” to change something on websites, and these “Maxwells” decided that now they have rights to call themselves “The Creators”. Well if they do this to someone, then someone will do this to them… sooner or later…
