LOL HAHAHA.. that picture had me rolling HAHAHA.. I think I lost about $3,000.00 last month stalling a guy to wait on a template. I know I lost $2,500.00 because of Cherry.. I just couldn't sell it to a guy as a base template, I had promised him that he would LOVE the next Template from Gavick.. NOT! lol. I even gave some pointers, to not give dates at ALL because you can't rush artistry, just post some screenies and when the template is here.. it's here. So when these templates are late, and I have nothing else to bastardize into what the customer wants.. I lose real money. I would actually pay $50.00 a month to have weekly updates on the status and design of the templates coming out. Because I lose thousands just wondering..
But on the flipside, get a Gavick template and delete all the articles and categories and just try to come up with a working design lol YOU CAN'T DO IT! so moan and grown if you have to, act like you don't care if you must, either way is understandable. But the bottom line is promises given MUST be met... or don't give them at all
@ devsmi I don't think people are blaming Gavick for projects being late.. I hope not then I agree with you.. But when customers know your skill level and decide to wait on you to build their site, as a developer I've built their site in a few days. The customer is only waiting on a template they like. If that doesn't come in a month or 2 they bolt. I have started to make my customers pay 60% in advance just because of late templates lol.
