The problem most designers/developers have is that they dont seperate experience and information based sites. Their site as an example doesnt necessarily need to be an experience. Experience as in heavy flash and mass confusion. Nor does it have to be, as someone staed, like amazon or google. The thing is you need to give the visitor a sense of your style and through the client portfilio or case studies you see the style that they represent. Hierachy of information delivery was somewhat lost when the internet evolved. Print is all hiearchy. The influx of gamers, broadcast designers, and newbies didnt catch the fundamentals from the forfathers of information delivery. This is not a bad thing as we wouldnt be having kick ass experiments and engaging experience sites without this development. But there needs to be lessons taught to both sides. It isnt something that will happen this second... the internet is evolving so no worries on the future. Someone also made the comment that if the client likes it thats what matters. Its our job to educate. You may seem like a hardass but a simple education to the customer will ensure trust in what youre doing. Selling the concept that you are passing their information in the best way possible utilizinfg past experiences and visions of the current state of the web will give the customer a killer site that has process and you will be in turn doing a service to the development of the medium. I think I might have gone off on a tangient but I had something to say i guess. :)
