It's all indicative of how well they manage their business. If they can't figure out how to hire website experts...
Not saying other companies are much better. My own employer is stupidly paying another company to host the main website on a single non-redundant server somewhere in some tiny company's hall closet because the Marketing and IT leadership don't get along. Ha. Sad. We techies could get it done. "Leadership" can't. Define, "Lame". They've got some battle going on.
I'd happily take whatever they paid this company as additional salary and buy the servers myself. There'd be plenty left over. Probably could get a new Aspen out of that deal.
The really funny reaction during a recent cutover and change to the site IP on their end was our newest Windows admin -- when he heard who was hosting it -- immediately started begging off of the cutover meeting.
When the boss said "why?" he said they'd recognize his name. Boss pressed harder...
"At a former employer I was responsible for them getting the pants sued off of them for non-performance and a key witness in the case. They also hijacked our business website with a false non-payment announcement. I had the site running on our own server in 30 minutes because they only took down the front page. I downloaded the rest of the site from links in a cached copy of the front page. We won a lot of money from them including our legal fees and damages. I'd never do business with those idiots ever again. Who hired them?!"
Bwahaha. Pure awesome. We made sure he wasn't on the meeting.
And had a good laugh about Marketing hiring the closet company, since that's not going to change as long as the higher-ups can't get along. LOL. $20 some Marketing persons kid works at that place. I'm not going to go get between momma and her cub.
But I will keep a regularly updated backup copy of the website stashed away somewhere.
