Linking to Web Developer

Postby loudawg » 19 Jun 2015, 09:41

Hi,

How many of you in the past have had a website designed where the developed has demanded a link in the footer.

Personally I dont ever see the value in this what so ever. The site designed has never anything to do with website design and it all does it harm both of your sites. Non relivant links are spammy.

Had more than 25 websites developed where the web designer has included at least two links to his website. It was very inconvenient for the webmaster as they find that they are providing free advertising to the webdesigner whose design will often be satisfactory from their websites

I think the designer has rights to have in footer something like, designed by @name.

Linking to theme developers and sometimes plugin developers is a common practice on WordPress themes that are mainly free. Most of these themes link to the developer, and unless one knows coding and is able to alter it, it's the only way it ca be removed. I don't like this and a reason why I tend to try as much as I can to remove such linkbacks.

I design my own website. When I design a website for clients, I sometimes ask my clients to link to my website, usually when I have compromised with my fees. When a client pays what I have asked for I do not ask for linking.
