I agree with you on how many are unprofessional. Personally, I like to respond within 24 hours max of everything and always have things completed before deadlines--however most don't believe in those ideals. Guess that's why all my clients are always left happy I believe Alex could vouch for that

I design most of my own graphics, but I can understand the frustration. There are some clients that are even worse at communication though. I've had clients where I sent them example of my first try at it, and then they don't reply with "I don't want it I changed my mind" or anything else, but then a couple weeks later they reply and want me to continue working on it to step two even though now I have new clients working with.

Your comment is rude and nothing to do with what I said.
That is why many threads around here end up in people fighting.
You made the comment to be mean to him, grow up!

you can try contacting : http://boomnewmedia.com/

ive done a lot of work with their designs, frontend coding and the like.. I've got a client that contracts me to code all of the designs he purchases through them.. From what I understand, they always deliver, and cooperate and are always in contact.

If you would like, I could get a better description of their services for you, and what they are like, from my client, just let me know.

lol I did not want to do a fight here, what you guys think about it does'nt matter. and sure it does'nt had to do what you said, because it was pointed at blindchild. And don't say that it was rude. because that was not my intention.

Regards
Tom

Yes very satisfied with the work done and extra effort to make sure I was happy.

Also may I mention that the best coder I know is Aros.

Because they are a grown up and can take comments like that...

Either way, I'm having a hard time finding coders that not only perform on time, but actually have an eye for detail. The attention to detail is much more important to me than missing the deadline by a few days - as long as I'm updated every once in a while.
