Some clients just will not accept the fact that splash pages are not 'the thing' anymore. I am dealing with that right now.

arrrrggghhhhhh! I F*****G HATE SPLASH PAGES!
My boss (who knows nothing about web design) is obsessed with them, he puts them in almost every brief and I just ignore him now!
They look good if it's an illustrators portfolio site or something, but completely LAME if on a commercial/corporate site!

I think some people believe they are a necessary cover letter, as if every website was a printed out resume.

I just tell clients, "You want to be found on teh google? OK, nix the splash page..."
Whether it's true or not (who the fuck knows what google's algorithms are this week) it seems to make sense to them
