I'm well gutted.
I spent about a month on a site, went back'n'forth with the client, got it all perfectly spot on. Everything was happy days as far as I knew. Everything was signed off as far as I knew.

One of the client's staff just asked me to do a change, so I go to do the change and....it turns out that they've had the site re-created (except they made some mistakes when copying my work) on a different platform by a different agency. Everyone in my company is like WTF? except one of the bosses seems to know but hasn't said anything to me yet.

I don't really get why someone would do that.

Considering what they spent, which I guess is in 5 figures....
....why would someone throw that down the drain just to recreate it, which aspheticly looks identical (minus their mistakes in copying me), on a different platform like that?

I donno, why would they emulate it so closely if that was the case? Why would they spend weeks going back'n'forth adjusting things with me?

Disappointed to see your VPN seems to have sorted itself out.

They're both as stable as each other really.
The other platform they've gone for (Wordpress) is the one I specalise in, I only used the platform I used (Umbraco) because thats what they wanted, and they wanted it all microsoft. I guess they didn't want out mantainance or hosting maybe? I donno, thats not down to me.
