I would not recommend any of our members to take on a project based on vague promises of paid work later.

If this was a charity or a not-for-profit site whose aims a programmer wishes to support that's one thing. However, since you are, or are planning to be, a business I think you should be prepared to pay for work from which your business will benefit.

i offered callum my services, on his paid position, and he seen i had 2-3 days prior built the entire framework for a web hosting company (which is what this job offer was for)

i believe i offered it for £250, which is incredibly cheap, for what he wants (full control panel for staff and clients etc) which would normally quite easily exceed £1k - £2k especially seeing as he would be making money from it, the reason i offered this low is as i said i'd built framework for a pretty identical site, and could reuse alot of it.

He refused telling me he simply couldnt afford to pay

He is also added to my msn, and contacted ME directly, there was no pressure on my part, i didnt even know who he was until he did that

my experiences anyway
