and would be willing to weigh in on something for me?

(basically, "yes your company is getting taken for a ride" or "no, that seems about right")

I expected a thread about this...

8/8/2012 12:34:47 AM

^this

8/8/2012 1:05:52 AM

^^I absolutely read that first.

8/8/2012 8:24:49 AM

Sweet

8/8/2012 11:35:01 AM

Please describe the problem in better detail, so that people will actually think of answers; it could actually be something entirely unrelated to Magento, which kicks ass, or so I've heard.

lewisje posting in a tech talk thread when he doesn't know shit about the topic

8/8/2012 11:00:16 PM

Use it quite a bit. Hit me up

8/9/2012 1:05:46 AM

I know a bit about them. My company provides an eCommerce solution for people to get onto additional marketplaces - we interface with quite a few Magento sites. feel free to pm me

I actually didn't notice that it didn't say that until this post

^^^^I actually have a close relationship with the problem alluded to in the OP, I was just trying to be funny earlier.

I feel bad for slappy1.

8/27/2012 4:03:17 PM

update: met with them today and cried towards the end. I was also so frustrated that I was sweating profusely.

8/27/2012 5:36:28 PM

We used magento enterprise for a couple years and I worked a couple projects with their expert consulting group.

^ are you saying magento made you cry?

8/27/2012 10:13:03 PM

no, the dev firm we hired, which has been super-late on its deliverables, is frustrating us all

8/28/2012 2:49:43 AM

ITT, we learn that slappy1 is actually lewisje

8/28/2012 9:12:35 AM

we've learned that magneto can tell your diet... hot chick hitting on you is a lie!

8/28/2012 9:40:19 AM

then demand payment back if they are late on shit like that.

8/28/2012 11:35:28 AM

Ah we always just dealt directly with magento. Their regular support team was a bit lax (though I'm sure it's improved) but their dev team was always great to work with.

lol no

I mean sure we post from the same area, which few other TDubbers post from
but you'll find this one residential IP address that only I seem to post from, and this other residential IP address that only she seems to post from

8/28/2012 4:46:46 PM

what do you mean no? You answerd a question directed at the other guy

8/31/2012 12:27:04 PM

As aggressive and direct as slappy1 may be, she's no d00d

also I just got access to the Basecamp and Magento installations for the dev site, and as suspected they were way behind on their deliverables

but I forgive them
(then again it wasn't my money thrown in the pit so...)

8/31/2012 6:59:35 PM

they were using templates for 90 bucks you could buy off any site.

9/1/2012 12:22:41 AM

it's what they started with

9/1/2012 5:33:13 PM

And what have they done for $15k that you couldn't have figured out yourself James? I'm just sick about this whole thing.

9/6/2012 11:13:28 PM

Megan you're cute why didn't you get your way?

9/6/2012 11:35:49 PM

wtf is going on in this thread anymore? its like everyone is the same person but they are all talking to eachother. pls2explain

9/6/2012 11:41:50 PM

^^lol

^^^idk tbqh, I mean they did provide a proper dev environment so I wouldn't need to be editing things on the live server
also the implementation of a couple themes as proper add-ons to Magento rather than hacking away at the core
also some custom training for Magento (ongoing)
still prolly not worth the money we've spent

9/7/2012 1:03:15 AM

Did they do any modules or custom coding other than themes?

9/7/2012 11:29:47 PM

they added 3 rectangles to the home page that apparently weren't part of the theme. and set up our shopping cart. Apparently those items took the majority of the 65+ hours we've been billed for.
