The piquant site of Maksidoma. How not to choose contractors.

For those who don’t know which company they’re talking about, there’s a small introduction: Maxidom is a network of large hypermarkets selling home goods. In St. Petersburg there are as many as five. Another Maksidom is famous for the fact that its CEO bought the masterpiece “Hedgehog under the Christmas tree” by the local governor for almost 2 million rubles. With the best of intentions. Now they have one more reason for pride. This is a new site. Sure, he will glorify the company. Why? Not every large company has this on its website. You must see with your own eyes . Found a link on ItNews in St. Petersburg, where the Maxidoma website is being discussedwithout unnecessary political correctness. In case the creators of the epoch-making Internet project bother to fix the marriage or some 12-year-old teenager has time to hack the site, I saved a  screenshot : If you believe what is written on the new site, “special attention is paid to online services.” I can’t understand why a company that spends a ton of money on advertising, which is lying helplessly in my porch, has such a  website. A widespread press release cites the words of the head of the marketing department of Maksidoma:

Voleks (contractor, editor's note) not only efficiently and on time performs the work agreed upon with Maksidom, but also constantly makes its suggestions for  improving our website.

Interesting, it must be said, improvements were made by Voleks. Interestingly, they were agreed with the CEO? We will leave quality issues aside.

It is pleasant to work with the agency; this cooperation constantly stimulates development and improvement. I am sincerely glad that we then chose “Voleks”.

I don’t know what exactly caused such joy. The principles of choosing a contractor are unknown to me, let’s leave them to the conscience of Maksidoma managers. Lack of readers: the choice of a site developer on the basis of the lowest price or the highest ... umm ... bonus usually does not lead to anything good. A site is the face of a company on the Internet.
And further:

dumping is evil!

* By bonuses, I mean exclusively marketing bonuses. For example, bought a site, get a prize. For example, a year of maintenance :)
* Parting words to readers is a digression. It in no way applies to such respected companies as Maxidom and as famous as Voleks, whose professionalism we have all just seen.
