I’ve honestly had a dude tell me he has a great new idea that hasn’t been done before anywhere! His idea was a website that you could rate restaurants around the city so other people could find out which restaurants were worth going to. He said people would be willing to pay an annual fee of 50$ for this service… I laughed extremely hard and said, ya good idea!

Clients like this are the #1 I will not freelance anymore. I’ve been putting up with idiots like this since 1998, so they’re nothing new. #2 reason web design sucks as a job is because everyone and their mom thinks they’re a professional designer when they all just use shit like jquery and wordpress and hide under the umbrella term “freelance.”

It’s all the same for every kind of design…believe me I’m architect and every client’s wife, daughter, son, grandma or neighbour or the client itself is better architect and designer….I donno if they are why they ask us to design and why they don’t fuckn doin it for themselves for free??

So funny because it’s true. Employers though are no more intelligent than clients. Funny how the previous comment is from an architect as I had to deal with architects all the time for house-designed ads on a RIBA page in a magazine; architects are the most awkward people I’ve dealt with. Apparently architects know more about ad design than I do, even when I already said it’s in a house format they still try and change it. You’re right, everyone thinks they’re a designer, even the architects!

Brilliant.

I had one that gave a site design to his friend’s 16 year old son because he would do it for a fifth of what I had quoted, then 3 weeks later called and asked if I would upload the files for him (he didn’t expect to pay anything) because the little twat didn’t know how to FTP from FrontPage. Of, I said ‘No thanks’, or something like that
