What's in the actual RFP or the requirements that the developer used to base his bid on? If your client requires a site that degrades well, has the ability to score well in search engines, has the ability to be viewable in different platforms/media, conforms to accessability standards and validates on todays standards... If so: The developer of course has the right to say that "this is not the way we build things.." well fine, but why should he stay in the running for the job? If the client and you are in agreement on the benefits of a modern site, drop this developer, there are plenty more that are willing to conform to modern standards at a reasonable price. If the initial request did not mention any of these things related to the tech aspects the developer "should" reply that "These additional requirements are not within the scope we placed our bid on, but we are happy to rework our bid in accordance with these parameters". Since this is obviously not the answer you got, I'd basically say, drop the developer. If standards are important to you, you will not be happy with the result if the developer has the mindset his asnwer implies. /Dan [url=http://www.dmsproject.com/] [img]http://www.dmsproject.com/gif/newSiggie.gif[/img] [/url] [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?sortby=rating&id=260]{cell 260}[/url] [url=http://dmsproject.blogspot.com/]{Blog}[/url] -{"Theories without facts are just religions...?}- Loading...
