[consulting] Cleaning Up After Bad Developers

[Steve Kessler]

I am working on a couple sites right now where there has been poor
development by other developers, egregious pricing, lack of communication
and poor service because the sites were too small for these shops. 

What are the best practices for explaining to a user why things that they
think should be simple tweaks need to be re-done because of how they were
done in the first place? Do you try and do redesigns or tweak the designs
they have?

Are smaller shops finding they are getting a lot of business from bigger
shops that others can't afford any more?

Was hired as a consultant to fix up a Drupal/CiviCRM site with some
problems. Not surprising that it had problems because it was Drupal
5.1 (yep 5.1) and had no user #0 nor #1. That explained why anonymous
posts didn't appear. LOL.

All of the modules were also never updated beyond the first upload,
circa Drupal 5.1.

I guess there are those who "dabble" in Drupal, eh? :)
