ugh.
i sent off three concepts to a client on friday. i thought they were fantastic. from our initial meeting i get "we're looking for contemporary, clean, white blah blah then as i'm about to hang up i hear EDGY blurted out in the background."
imagine if you will, if buick were my client.
so i get a response today.
"we're looking for a cutting edge hipster site"
again. imagine if buick rebranded themselves and turned their site into said site above.
it wouldn't work.
i'm not even mad. i'm actually laughing. it's so rediculous. they tell me "NO FLASH" so this is all html and css, then want extreme edgy and cutting edge. hope you like a dog of a site that image heavy as fuck.
this is why i don't care much for freelance.
at least i'm charging by the hour so really, who cares. it's just funny. it would be like my grandfather coming over dressed like kevin federline.

have they demonstrated any sample sites they enjoy for you? i have a feeling they are not saying what they actually mean, but using terms that 'seem' like what they mean.
i find, about 97% of clients cannot tell you what they truely mean the first 3 times. samples help....... sometimes.

so, if your website was indeed a car, you'd be making this?

i hate those terms... just like i hate it when someone says "I just wanted to touch base on that project"

(Sep 4 07, 13:22)i asked them to see sample sites they like and dislike and they gave me nothing saying something like 'we want you to create something out of the blue, complete creative freedom' and i tried to explain that those are two seperate things, that seeing what they like will help me build what they like but they just didn't get it and gave me nothing.
