invoice of $3000 chgd 7 Nov 2014 for "creation of new design and change of servers for HPPOA website". Then other charges followed which amounted to another $955.
This issue is non-HPP specific and probably deserves its own thread ... that said:
Not the first time I've heard about someone paying ridiculous fees for website creation and hosting -- sometimes nepotism is involved, sometimes not. People around here seem to believe that websites are magic, and they're happy to pay $500/page for something that GoDaddy or WIX or Wordpress will host for $20/month.
Put another way: if someone volunteered a little technical assistance, $4000 would buy a server and pay for 2 years' DSL+power to run a website with it.
Nepotism is only part of the problem.
