Hadda Freakin’ Happen Sometime
Posted on | March 19, 2007 | No Comments
So there’s this guy… decides he needs a website for his business. Goes to a webgeek and gets a bid for a bazillion dollars. They cut a deal, half-a-bazillion down and the other half on delivery. Three months later, the webgeek delivers the first couple of prototypes. The customer frowns. He gives the webguy a bunch of photographs and graphics about his business. “Use these. Go away and come back with something better.”
Another three months and the webgeek is back, with more of what he brought before. Customer frowns…
Webgeek goes through his stuff…
“Hot colors! Man, the kids dig hot colors… gotta have ‘em.”
“Animation! Gotta have it. The kids dig animation. The more the better.”
“Video! Hot linked right to YouTube! The kids are gonna LOVE this site.”
“Where’s all the copy I gave you?” the customer asks.
“Boring,” says the webguy. “Kids don’t want to read all that stuff. They want pictures… ACTION!”
“About the pictures,” the customer says. “Why didn’t you use what I gave you?”
The webguy was getting frazzled. “You gotta have professional pictures. The stuff you gave me was dark… looks like an amateur took it. Besides, it had no pizzazz!”
“Pizzazz?”
“Yeah, bright colors… young adults smilin’ and dancin’ that’s what everybody wants to see. PROFESSIONAL models, girls showin’ their belly buttons.”
“Did you even bother to READ anything that I gave you about my business?”
“Whatever… a website’s a website, man. If your sellin’ something this is how you gotta go, trust me.”
The customer had all he could take… “You’ll hear from my attorney about a refund of the deposit.”
“Refund?” the webguy shouted. “What do you mean refund? This stuff sells. The young hip crowd loves it. You’re gonna regret not takin’ my advice.”
The customer stared at the webguy for several seconds before saying anything.
“I’m a freakin’ UNDERTAKER!”
