rather than delivering a bespoke quality platform simply glued on a new skin to a bog-standard cheap web-script
Big quote you have there. Can you possibly point me into the right direction where you have found it to be a I quote "bog standard cheap script" that would imply the dev doesn't know how to code when I have seen a fix in real time after emailing him. So where is your proof it being a cheap script please and where would I find such a script?
Don't be stupid Vinnie they don't need proof, they just bark as loud as they can and hope someone can hear.
