Last Saturday's Illawarra Mercury carried a story exposing the case of a local psychologist who contracted another web developer to create her site.

This case serves as a warning to local businesses of the potential danger of shonky operators which are operating in the local IT sector. Low barriers to entry on the part of new operators, and a generally low level of technical sophistication on the part of clients, makes it quite easy for shonky providers to operate in the marketplace and rip people off.

For more information, you can read about the exposed company to ensure none of your collegues in business make the same mistake when choosing their internet development company. The story is online at the Illawarra Mercury's website at http://www.illawarramercury.com/today/2030243.htm.
