Hello everyone, I'm a CSS/XHTML coder with strong PHP/MySQL experience. I'm looking to start accepting WordPress jobs, either PSD -> CSS/XHTML -> WordPress, or CSS/XHTML -> WordPress. I've done numerous CSS/XHTML jobs in the past few weeks and I'm now looking to widen my target audience. I have 5+ years of experience in PHP/MySQL, and 3+ years of experience in CSS/XHTML. You can check out my portfolio here: http://www.equaite.com All my prices will be very low, as I have no current WordPress work to show in my portfolio, I'm looking to build my portfolio in this area. I take payments through PayPal, and nothing is paid until the project is fully completed. Get in touch by PM or this thread, I look forward to your inquiries.
I'll start with the price I charge for CSS/XHTML and integrate for $15. Typically a two page design would be $50-65, with WordPress integration it would be around US$75.
This is a note to Everyone and to Moderator.. Please block his username and IP forever.. this guy is a cheat.. I was so obedient and trusted him He has taken advance payment of $100 from me.. He is total a SPAM ! He is using another UserName as well named as The Reckoning. I asked him to do a certain work for me.. He agreed for $100 in beginning, and asked for advance, i told him i dont do such, he said he would give me work immidiately in 3-4 days, and needs advance.. I said Ok. Here is the conversation..       me says: Hey       me says: you there? Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: yeah       me says: hey, i want to know which part of USA you reside.. whats the time there though ?       me says: whats the update in the work, i was actually waiting yesterday for the upload you said you would be doing       me says: you therE? whats happening buddy ? Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: sorry, I have had a stressful weekend Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I am going to be refunding your money Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I am however, letting you keep the css/xhtml coding. this will make it cheaper for the next coder to complete your work       me says: why what happened now .. you told you would be doing the work. i was waiting for you since 2 days..       me says: you can complete the tasks as we discussed, i would appreciate if you can... cause you got the grip of the project       me says: can i see the css/xhtml coding.. when will you upload for me to see. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: by the end of the day for me. what time is it there? it's 12:26pm here       me says: its 11:26 PM here..       me says: i need to see whats done currently...       me says: i am waiting antonio.. can you reply.. i thought you are quick and effecient developer.. and i paid in advance also.. but i am just waiting and waiting. for your responses..       me says: hello ??       me says: Hello you there?       me says: i am waiting for the work to be shown... i paid you advance, since you promised for work to be done.. i am waiting since long... Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I am having internet troubles, sorry. however, the css/xhtml isn't fully done and I will be able to deliver by morning your time. after that, I will refund the money you paid me and let you keep the css/xhtml work       me says: i need refunded money $100 right away.. i dont need the css/xhtml.... thanks.. please refund $100 now.. i am waiting Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: as you wish Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: sorry it didn't work out, and sorry you didn't want the css/xhtml that is almost done       me says: you wasted my precious time antonio.. i was looking to give you more work as well.. anywayz refund $100 please now.. i am waiting Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: refund sent       me says: didnt get any email from paypal yet.. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: and just so you know, the sole reason I did not want to complete the work with you is because you are very difficult to communicate with. I could only imagine how difficult it would be to communicate with you properly during the rest of the project       me says: this refund will be chargedback to my credit card? Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I don't know, that is up to you to figure out. learn how to use paypal       me says: thats is lame excuse antonio.. its just you wasted 2 days.. it turned out to be yourself a totaly wasting time, and losing trust of potential customers...       me says: you understood the project, thats why i showed you design, and gave you advance       me says: now you are making lame excuses.. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I did understand the project, but you seem very picky and unsure of a lot of things. you do not even understand the concept of a cms. you thought "cms" was a programming language       me says: You could have told me immidiately before paying you... why you didnt mention Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: I did not want to get finished and have you say that some things are not how you want them       me says: and wasting my time.. dont make lame excuse please.. you are wastage of time.. and not a potential provider       me says: anywayz i will wait for refund to happen.. thanks... Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: that's your decission. I'll stick to english speaking customers Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: the refund has already happened Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: actually, the refund is pending. my account did not have enough to cover the payment and it is pulling the funds from my bank account Antonio - Front/back-end web developer says: which may take up to three days       me says: This conversation is copy pasted.. if i dont see any refund back.. i am sorry i have to spread this conversation to people in dp. its not a warning or such.. its just to assure i am serious and trusted you, and paid you advance.. i should have the same level of trust from you in the refund.. thanks..       me says: i wish you luck ahead.. and now wait for refund. thanks
Another Part of Conversation Next Day : This guy has no respect to clients.. NO ONE USE THIS GUY.. HE IS TOTAL HOPELESS     me says: Hello Antonio Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: hey Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: still awaiting on clients payment, the work is already completed       me says: i need it to be cleared today.. please its not my fault.. if client is delaying to pay you or such.. you should send the money wht i gave you.. did you use it up or what so quickly Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: I already told you that it was no longer in my account, otherwise I would have no problem refunding you Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: either way, I'm taking on another project that will only be taking me a few hours. this guy is pretty quick about his payments, so I should be able to refund if everything goes the way I think it is       me says: sir, no matter whatever.. you have to refund me by today.. its been nearly a week now.. its your issue which you have to solve it Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: you are quite ignorant. if the money is not in there, it will NOT ALLOW ME TO REFUND. do you understand now?       me says: Antonio i am not ignorant.. you should put the money in Paypal yourself and refund.. do you get it? when i paid you $100 you took it out from your PayPal.. put that money back again by credit card/debit card immidiately and refund me right away.. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: you are ignorant, because I have no money to load from a credit or debit card       me says: whatever, i need it by today... i have given you time.. so dont come up with all the crap.. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: it does not matter when you need it by, those words mean nothing to anyone. it will not be possible for me to refund you until I am paid for either of these projects. will you get that through your head? so I can get back to working? the more time you waste of mine the longer it takes to get your money. now be silent       me says: Listen Mr. dont act smart alright.. use those crap stuff, if you have done something good.. then you have rights to speak out... i need it to be done quickly.. Or i am filing a Case with PayPal, to speak with your bank, cause they do have your bank details wheren you withdrawed.. everything is possible.. i will wait another few hours to see what you do, and refund the money immidiately.. thank you.. Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: paypal will never at any point contact my bank, it violates their own privacy policy. you need to brush up Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: also, I do not ever withdraw anything to my bank account, I withdraw with my paypal debit card. read up on that too, noob Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: if you were to file a dispute, it is just going to take you a month longer to get your money. because I will drag out the pointless dispute you file. where as if you shut up now and be somewhat patient, you may have it in a few hours Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: you are being ignorant yet again Antonio - Front/back-end web developer, looking for work! says: I said you "may" get it in a few hours. it depends on how soon this client pays, and if I get a message from you in a few hours complaining, you're not gonna have much fun from there
Equaite is TOTAL SCAM.. useless programmer.. Scam...no respect to talk to clients.. Above see the proof... its been 1 week in total, he hasnt refunded.. he doesnt does the job as well... Moderator and other users, beware of this programmer.. he is a total Cheat!!
Martin.. you have the proof.. i was being so generous to this guy.. seriously.. i was being kind to make advance.. but he made me wait for 3 days and than comes back with excuse that he cant do work.. and than 1 week has been past, he didnt refund. This guy needs to be blocked by Moderator and everyone should not use this programmer.. I found bad review about this user from somewhere other user who used him earlier, which i will put link once i found..
Naw. I've seen this guy around. He's been legit in the past. Give him neg rep, owaisrauf and let that be the end of it.
I am sorry Burn, it wont be an end of it.. when you trust someone, given an amount, and than he comes up after 3 days, he cant do it, and than shows an attitude to the client... I was really astonished by his behaviour, look at my conversation to him, This guy isnt legit, he is total SCAM.. I would have agreed if he wud have paid me the refund.. but making me wait for 1 week, rising his tone when he himself is wrong, is out of bearing such attitude.. Dont use Equaite(SCAM)!
Well, to be honest how do we know you can be trusted either, with 0 iTrader? One negative is mixed in there... I believe that if you just remain calm for the time being you will get your money back. He said if you made a fuss he would drag the situation out. He asks this of you and from the looks of it you really don't have anything against him because everything here could just easily be made up. Poof, thin air to this. Really, now, don't have better things to do? You should be 18 if you're using paypal. $100 shouldn't mean very much, so you can wait for it.
You talk like him.. or one of his friends.. regarding proof, do i have any huge time to make up a huge conversation chat, comeon, talk something sense here.. I dont have any itrader, why should i? i have been inactive for quite some long, didnt have anything, so ? its not necessary i do give project, spend money and try to increase my itrader.. this isnt sense.. even $1 means everything.. dont just tell me $100 doesnt means anything.. This guy is a trully scam.. and moderator should block him.. users should be aware of such happening... this guy is a cheat.. and there are many might be around, so be careful everyone thanks
I believe that if a programmer requires upfront payment from a client, then at the very least he/she should have reserve funds already in their account to refund back a customer or customers where appropriate & not have to rely on future payments from other clients to come through to fund any refunds. This is a more professional approach to take & won't make you look as though you are "living from hand to mouth" which isn't good publicity for any business.
Yes jnex, i agree with you absolutely... Equaite is total SCAM... he lost his own identity and lost potential business i was planning to give him and/or wud be going to have from others. Seriously, see his conversation, no matter what happens, he should be obeying to any of his clients..
