do you have to make my life so difficult? Why do see the need to water down good design? I know your wife doesn't like what I've done, but at the end of the day she doesn't understand what you or I do.
Please explain...
Kind regards

i like your design, its very nice. but can you add a little more movement. and this space over here, can you put up a photograph of my dog?

porky. it is your job to tactfully tell them 'honestly, it really doesn't matter if i like it or not because in the end it's what do your users like/want. you could like purple but does that mean you should make your site purple when your users may not like it?'
people often forget their site isn't FOR them, it's ABOUT them and FOR their clients.

oh, and always make the logo bigger.

why do designers piss and moan all the time when it's someone elses dollar?

Client: "Do you want paid?"
You: "Yes"
C: "Who hired who?"
Y: "You hired me"
C: "Then why are you teling me what to do?"
Y: "It's just that..."
C: "Do you think I care?"
Y: "I know you don't care"
C: "WHAT!?"
Y: "It's just that if you cared, you'd proabably listen"

the way to a happy client.......
... is to make the logo as big as possible
... no twice that size!

When a client tells me how to do my job I usually come back and tell them that I think one of their products suck and tell them how to do their job. They get the point.
Or, I tell them... "If I ever have brain surgery (God forbid) I'm sure you won't ever hear me tell the doctor how to do his job, as I know nothing about Brain surgery."
Then the usually get the point.

the bad thing about stubborn clients is that they will kill a good thing just to have the self importance of being in charge of something shitty once they hire some kid or relative instead of listening to the professional
