Look. It's really about you - not them. They don't know. I had this gig with architects (which sounds perfect), but as the project evolved I realised they were not in the same sync. I gradually lost interest, because I have this shitty inner workings that make me an alarmed and look-out person, and after a striking half-kneeling walk to their office begging for info, pictures, anything that could make me design better I got to know they didn't even used all the back-end stuff that I prepared for them while the site was being developed (like interactive reports, client-dedicated live forums, uploading CAD projects area, renderings, QT, etc...). It struck me hard, like "They don't really need this shit and have no clue how troublesome it is to make this work...". It happens that people that are not always aware of what a website can be - even if they are cool people. And new clients are always bad clients, because the idea that you first agreed with them never really got into their brain. They just don't know what you're talking about, and they cannot see the same opportunities you can see. Any new client, is a downward spiral. Either you can take that (I can't, really - but I'm a loser in that matter and I just lost my patience and I really cannot put up with this anymore) or you fight to get your stuff up and going. That's what you have to do. Fight to ground-logic your work.
