alright i've restored it to it's original form in the hopes that perhaps this jackass will actually like what i've done and overlook the fact that there's no giant eyeball and the word "FABRIC" doesn't leap out and puke onto your lap, covering you with dime store marketing techiques.

That homepage is hilarious.
Nice work.

I wish you could let them see that... send that to her...

well the guy's wife is the other half of the management and she's a bit more flexible than her douchebag husband. she probably would pay me more and let me design it the way i think is right but she always says that she can't help it cause he's stuck in his ways.
don't know whether to finish the fuckin thing cause it's like half done or just say fuck it, throw it away, fly back to canada and leave a steamy pile of shit on their front lawn. then i'd stick a little flag in it with the guy's face on it.

much rarer than a good designer is a good client

fifty, i hear your money woes. know this about negotiating. if you give in once, you'll have to give in again. it's good to be flexible, but don't sell yourself short either.
i hope all works out for you.

Forge: To advance gradually but steadily.
You were able to cover ground basically even though this cunt is causing you grief.

initially i asked for at least a thousand but they said "well, you did our last website and we think we paid you enough for that one, so 500 is our limit"
i was about to say "fuck you then" when i looked in my bank account and realized i desperately need the money.

How long have you been working on this? Does $500 justify the time? Burn the bridge if you really don't like the guy. Aggravation in't worth it, it really, really isn't.
Either that or put some more yellow on it, put a faded eye as a backgroun image in the header somewhere and say "Done" Pay me today or the work is scrapped. I have no more time for this project without seeing any money."
And in the future get a retainer up front, and then bill a % upon completion. Or set milestones with bills at those points. That's what I do - it's called managing cash flow.

hey, thanks dan... didn't know you were familiar with my work.
the front page there USED to be nice until i tore it apart, as you see, but since the dickhead is all horny for yellow eyeballs then that's the result. maybe i'll upload the original version again some day.
btw, what do you mean by "forge"?

it's on my web server. they have the domain. they look at it every once in a while to check the progress. considering they're only offering me 500 bucks to complete the entire site i'm close to saying "fuck you" and just uploading what you see there and leaving it at that.

(May 12 05, 11:57)if you can burn the bridge, do it. he ain't paying enough. ie, it's not worth the aggravation, imo

You do good work 50.
Considering the client, you have been able to forge another great site.
It's a shame the idiot won't just let you get on with your work.
