well , im only a noob designer , ive only had like 3 contracts till now. and each time it was a nightmare.
I have tons of examples...
I really hate this , i think the client should be able to give its inputs and optinion to a certain level, BUT not have TOTAL control of whatever we do damn it. Everytime a client ask me for something really gay and ugly , i try to explain to them that its not "cool" but they are very stubborn and in the end they always trow the final " well im the client , and im paying you money to do what I WANT " ...I think clients sometimes forget that , its our job , to make a web site /design/ for the clients of their company , not for them .
Not to mention the fact that they have absolutely no clue of certain restrictions , like they want something FULL SCREEN , and then they want it to be 800x600 so everyone can see it , but when they look at it on their 1280x1024 its not full screen...
Also , they give you CRAPPY images to put on the site , and when i say crappy , its like , really crappy , and then they ask you to ZOOM it in , but of course that is gonna cause some pixelization , and u tell them , but they dont understand , so you show them , and even tho they SEE it , because of their "pride" they will not admit it and insist on taking the full zoomed ugly pic ...bottom line , so far i have had alot of shitty clients. I think it shouldnt work that way , i think we should decide what is best . the only choice the client would have would be to decide WHO would make their web site... i mean if they hire me , instead of the other guy , well its because they liked my work .
Im pretty sure big companies like 2advanced or wddg or whatever dont let their client COMPLETELY modifie to their vision whatever work they present to them , they might let them give some inputs , and decide to take these inputs in account or not. but im sure if they let the client decide everything from A to Z , they would make crappy work most of the time.
I really hate it when i client ask me to remove or modifie something i really liked in my designs , i keep all my original designs to put them in my next portfolio , because sometimes after the client bash our work , in the end its pretty ugly. so i make backups.
sorry i talked to much , its just that this annoys me ALOT , i guess ive been really unlucky so far , ... i hope so.
Oh yeah , one client , im providing hosting services for them , so they pay me X$/month. but THEY INSIST , and they WONT UNDERSTAND , that I CANT give them internet access ... i explained to them again and again , and they DONT BELIVE ME......... omg.
