Spicy site "Maxidom". How not to choose contractors.

For those who do not know which company they are talking about, a small introduction. “Maksidom” is a network of large hypermarkets selling home goods. In St. Petersburg, there are as many as five. Another “Maksid” is famous for the fact that its CEO has acquired the “Hedgehog under the Christmas tree” masterpiece by the local governor for almost 2 million rubles. With the best of intentions. Now they have another reason for pride. This is a new site. Undoubtedly, he will glorify the company. Why? Not every large company has such on its website. You should see with your own eyes . I found the link in St. Petersburg ItNews, where the Maxidom website is discussed without unnecessary political correctness. In case the creators of the landmark Internet project find it difficult to fix a marriage or some 12-year-old teenager has time to hack the website, I saved a screenshot : If you believe the new website , “On-line services are given special attention.” I can’t understand why a company that spends a cloud of money on advertising, which is lying around my entrance using a helpless group, has such a website. la marketing "Maxidom":

Volex (contractor, editor's note) not only performs the work coordinated with Maxidom qualitatively and on time, but also constantly makes its proposals for the improvement of our website.

Interesting, I must say, improvements introduced "Volex". Interestingly, they were agreed with the CEO? Quality issues leave aside.

It is a pleasure to work with an agency; this cooperation constantly stimulates development and improvement. I am sincerely glad that we chose our choice at that time precisely at Volex.

I do not know what exactly caused such joy. I don’t know the principles of choosing a contractor, we’ll leave them on the conscience of Maxidom’s managers. A guide to the reader: the choice of a website developer based on the principle of the lowest price or the highest ... ummm… the bonus doesn’t lead to anything good. The site is the face of the company on the Internet.
And further:

dumping is evil!

* By bonuses, I mean only marketing bonuses. For example, bought a website, get a prize. For example, a year of maintenance :)
* Parting readers of this lyrical digression. It does not in any way concern such respected companies as Maxidom and those so famous as Volex, whose professionalism we all have just seen.
