its not an issue of if they only wanted to spend 200 they would not come anyway
its an issue of they spend 2000 and then learn they could get the perceived same thing for 200
when a company decides to play on both sides of the street they need to be careful of perceptions and how they impact others
i think its wonderful that webassist can demonstrate their tools with powerstore
i think its also created perception problems for both webassist and their customers
to me this would be the same as a customer hiring me to build them a complex website and then my launching the same site that i build for them under my own domain and compete with them directly its cost effective for me to do it since all i have to do is change the design a bit but how would that be perceived by the original customer and future customers
being cost effective and wanting to demonstrate capabilities is not a good enough reason to do something that would create perception issues imho
