  Our policy is against this. The core reason is that, while we will certainly receive benefits (increased awareness of our company, SEO, etc.), that is not what our clients are paying us for. They are paying us to market and promote THEIR business.

  I know a lot of people do this. I chalk that up to the still relative youth of the medium. Whenever I see a credit in the footer of the website, I (likely, unfairly) consider the development firm to be a bit hacky.

  If someone likes the work enough, they will ask the business owner who did it for them. We've gotten tons of new work through this exact path.
