Yes, but there is nothing on it as we hadn't even gotten to that stage yet. The website part of it had not been completed fully as I was still waiting for them to provide me with the actual content for the site.
That's the logic that we're dealing with here. They wanted it done "weeks ago" yet had provided me with nothing to complete it with.
These guys have no technical ability whatsoever or understanding of the process of developing a website. I tried my best to explain this to them using the architect metaphor for building a house for a client in which the client had only specified the carpet (colours), the drapes(type), and that they wanted a skylight (fancy doo-dads). That's why I had to brief myself and them in turn. They didn't know how many bedrooms, how many toilets, or even if they wanted a kitchen.
I expect for some strange and mystical reason, they thought I would reach these conclusions all by myself as I am a psychic designer who shits perfectly spherical golden eggs.
So during our first round of reviews the client asked where their house was and then fired me for not having built it to their specifications that they never provided me.
That is the kicker in this debaucle.
