The new career honeymoon is already over :-(

Very disappointed to find out at 17:00 on the Friday before the scheduled launch of the beta site on Monday that the design agency we are using to build the website have had a problem with resourcing to code the site and so the website will be delayed a further month!  Absolutely ridiculous that the project manager didn’t get in touch to warn us of the potential delays.  I guess the lesson learned for me is not to trust anyone you deal with in business to come through on their end of the bargain.  Very unexpected as they were absolutely brilliant in the design phase of the project and were one of the few firms who actually understood the underlying concept of the business when we were doing RFPs.  In retrospect I should have been asking for daily/weekly updates to ensure things were on track – that way I would have been aware of the problem early.  Oh well, I guess we have to learn these lessons at some point.

 

Unfortunately, it has impacted on our initial awareness campaign and so will have to cancel our initial marketing activities and refocus on the university/college campus drive at the start of September.  Grrrrr (that’s my angry growl)
