New Client’s Website Had Some Interesting Problems
<p>Whilst officially “Retired” from accessibility and efficiency consulting, I still get people banging down the door offering me work. In a way it feels good to feel needed, and sometimes I really just wish folks would leave me alone. <em>Honestly which is which is determined more by my health day to day than the people and projects in question.</em></p>
<p>What intrigued me about this one is I kind of know their product market. They are in fact a competitor to a company I did a lot of work for in the mid 2000’s. Let’s just say they manufacture and sell silicone and rubber toys of an adult nature.</p>
<p>Their founder/owner contacted me personally and I was intrigued by three things.</p>
<ol>
<li>An offer of cash up front <strong>JUST </strong>for a consult to evaluate what was wrong, giving them a write-up of what I thought needed to be done. A more than generous amount of money for the job as well. Then if I can make any simple changes to help he’s willing to pile more on top. <em>I warned him some things might not be simple changes. That’s fine, I help, he pays.</em></li>
<li>Was willing to give me admin access to their hosting just for this consult. Normally I have to twist people’s arms to get that and it’s not information a business like this one should just freely hand out to some rando.</li>
<li>Actually quoted Patton asking me to give it to him “double dirty” as he wasn’t a “little old lady at an afternoon tea party.”</li>
</ol>
