We don't know what the content will be, or how many pages we want, but do you know how long it will take?

i had this client that does aviation, business, and military security with doing live video feeds in buildings and airplane cabins. their logo is of a satellite dish. i put an image of a satellite dish on the front page and he says to me that he doesnt want people to think he is in the satellite dish business. i said, well why do you have a satellite dish on your business card then? dummy!
well, i didnt call him a dummy...but it was on the tip of my tongue ready to be said.

Or more often - "we don't know how much content, how many pages, how many products, how much time to get the content written, where our logo artwork is, or our own phone number. But how much will it be?"
