Hola guys,
So here's the scenario... you have a potential client with a nasty design... either it be print or web. How do you propose to the client to do a redesign for their company?
Me not so good with talking, so I would love to hear how you guys do it?

if they are already your client, did they approach you for something else and you just want to broach the subject?

its a bit odd I know because you don't want to offend them.
I am kind of in the same situation as you. Just got a design from another freelancer for a site my company is doing, and its less to be desired, so I just may redesign it on my own time, just for kicks.Im waiting for the day I can walk into the office and say.. I told you so!!

aah...ok. the cold approach is tough. i'm usually pretty direct and tell them it sucks (or "your site does not reflect the quality of your company" etc) and describe how you can create one that does.

naw, i think skt is right. put on a fake accent and tell them it sucks. the tell them you're normally too expensive and too busy but you can help them out...

Like sputnik said, combine insults with flattery. It works every time.
Like "Damn, that shirt is really hot for someone as ugly as you" or "You have become really fat, sweetheart"
See what I mean?

draw up some scamps outlining where their current site lacks professionalism and offer a solution.
either that or just hack into their server and upload a tubgirl pic.

haha thanks guys...
I think with the advice I will dress in a suit give them a professional pitch, then take out some papers of diagrams of tubgirl and when I leave have a big smile, leave my business card, and flip them off!!
