    Why would anyone not want it? It's like a photo credit - there's a credit wherever it is shown (which, can get distracting, but that's the norm).

    As for "press", that's where I think it would get touchy. If a company is promoting their new look, website, etc., I'd think it would be unprofessional to try to make someone mention other companies (distracts from their press). The credit is on the page, so anyone interested can see, but those that care about the company's business, won't be distracted (the end goal is, of course, to help your client).

    Just curious. Obviously there is no set rule (though I see site credits on quality sites more than not).

    [for renderings and photographs, that's where I request a credit in press, but that's a line item ONLY if the image is also published/used to promote]

    • it's fairly normal for a luxury brand to mention who did their website. it just looks tacky written on the page. i do this a lot.doesnotexist
    • I guess that's different in my industries, do you have any examples?formed
