But now learning... from the positive statements made about CI, I think 'milking' is a good term at this point.(12-22-2015, 10:39 AM)Liquid Wrote: Would someone who is CI knowledgeable please guide us of whether or not our site is at all usable? It was due to go 'live' before Christmas, but he said CI and MVC framework is very. very difficult. We are sadden because, even though I understand most things here... our developer has utilized valuable time by trying to reinvent a better way to track payments, credits and the member listing. He said he had to create a custom designed payment method, member listing and databases to protect us; PayPal cannot be trusted. Yes, a subscription site is what he was creating but reinventing the wheel, so to speak along with the ability to blog and interact with members. PSD, html (still not completed) and Flow Charts (created by me) were all understood, but he focused on the payments. We had already sent him the coding for that, but he said it was not secure? Mahalo. RE: Seeking a CI Expert for Guidance - RobertSF - 12-23-2015 Three months at an ordinary schedule of 40 hours per week is 520 hours. That's a generous amount of time to complete a site, and certainly enough to show at least working prototypes. I'm familiar with the reinvention of the wheel phenomenon. A project at a company I once worked for kept getting redone as new technologies arose. From dBase III it went to Paradox and then to Quick Basic and finally to dot-Net until higher management killed it dead. And nothing ever worked. All the time seems to have been spent converting from one system to another. I'm sorry to hear of your situation. All I can advise is to end your relationship with your current developer as gently as you can, and to then find someone who can implement what you've imagined. |
