Here are a few recommendations to keep in mind when ordering services from SkadateCS.com contractors:
- Under no circumstances give away your Customer Area access details to a contractor. We do our best to make SkadateCS.com a safe place to provide/obtain services. However, because this is Internet, we cannot verify each server provider's trustworthiness. Just remember that there is basically nothing a third-party developer would need access to your SkaDate Customer Area for when providing support or performing modifications. But having full access to your account, one can illegally download (in other words, steal) SkaDate software packages, manuals and templates. And in some cases even impersonate a SkaDate customer by changing your client account details. A contractor's request for access to your Customer Area should immediately get you alerted to a possible fraud attempt.
- Change your server account and site administration panel access details after a third-party programmer performs modifications on your site. We are sure we don't even need to remind that you should be the one and only owner of your server and site admin panel access data. This is common sense security. So when you have modifications done by third-party developers, be sure to change all the access details (FTP, SSH, CPanel, admin panel) once you get the project completed.
- If you're new to SkadateCS.com, and not sure who to hire for your project - follow the simple rule: choose featured developers with positive feedback or at least those who've been registered on SkadateCS.com for a while. We are not saying that none of the new-registered contractors is worth dealing with. In most cases they just need some time to collect positive reviews and improve reputation. If you decide to go for hiring a developer you know nothing about - be sure to prepare a contract that would clearly describe the duties and liabilities of both parties. This may become a guarantee for successful project completion.
- Report suspicious and obviously fraudulent profiles, and the members violating the Terms and Conditions of SakdateCS.com. This is a very important and powerful aspect for maintaining SkadateCS.com a secure and reliable resource. However, please note that should you get faced with any problems during the project development, we will not be able to assist you in any way other than blocking a profile engaged in fraudulent practices, as SkadateCS.com acts only as a venue for introducing contractors and customers to each other.
- Help us and other SkadateCS.com members identify the trustworthy developers. If you are satisfied with the speed and quality of work performed by a SkadateCS.com contractor - don't stay silent, share your positive experience with us. The developers receiving such feedback from different users will be added to a Featured list by SkadateCS.com administration. This will help SkadateCS.com customers choose a reliable partner for their projects with minimum risk.
