Tiny Nonprofit Organization ("NGO"): Hi would you build us a webpage?
Web Developer: Sure give me some text, and some photos, and $15,000.
NGO: Wow that's a lot of money but we need a webpage, here you go.
(a month passes)
NGO: Whoohoo we have a website! we're having a website launch party!!
(everyone celebrates)
(a year passes)
NGO: Hi Web Developer, we have a new board of directors and the program for the next year and our funding strategy has changed, would you update the website please?
[crickets]
NGO: Uh hello, we really need this
[more crickets]
[finally they get WD's home phone number and call them at supper time]
WD: Uh yeah I have a full time job now, I don't do web sites any more. Bye.
[NGO asks around and finds New Web Developer]
NGO: Hi New Web Developer!! How much would it cost to do these three small updates to the website?
New Web Developer: Hi! Your website? Sure! Oh. Wait. That was created in WebSnark 1.8, no one uses that any more, it's impossible to update, all the cool kids are using FriskyCM now. I'm very happy to create you a whole new website in FriskyCM 3.2 for only $15,000.
