The request is to write a testimonial for her for a local business organisation. I have a dilemma.
I do wish her well in her venture and hope that she can eventually make a living from what she has chosen (and I encouraged her) to do.
However, I have a problem. She wants me to comment on her work. I have always avoided this to the very best of my ability, whilst still remaining supportive.
My reason for this being, she cannot spell. Her grammar is not great either. Her webpage is full of spelling errors, punctuation and grammar errors too. I feel that anyone who has enough money to spend on her services would not do so when they saw the site. I would not have faith in someone working on my behalf, communicating for me, who cannot spell.
I dare say there are plenty of mistakes in my blog. But it's my blog and I don't seek customers from it.
She does with her site.
I have a real dilemma. I want to be helpful but I cannot put my name to a testimonial when I think her work is not tight enough. I have considered telling her before but I never have. It would not go down well, even though my intention is to help not hurt. I know this makes me sound like a terrible person but I would not ask someone to rate my work unless I was 100% sure it was the very best and had had it checked and checked again.
I'm sure I cannot be the only one who has noticed this. I wonder if I am the only one who is being hesitant about adding a testimonial. I am wondering how I can write one which comments only on the graphic content of her work and not the written.
I hope I will know what the right thing to do is very soon. At the moment I am struggling with this dilemma.
