Clients Who Sabotage!
If you’re at all like me, you can’t stand when someone tells you how to do your job.
I recently had several clients who refused to listen to any of my professional advice and direction for their website project, and insisted I do it their way.
The result? Well, let’s just say that it turned out like crap as it almost always does!

Oh yeah? My Sister is a web designer.
Really? and my uncle plays golf on the weekends but he's not Tiger FREAKIN Woods!!!
Why is it that every profession on earth has a barrier to entry except ours?
Any imbecelle with a computer and a copy of Photoshop can call themselves a creative professional.
Hell, "artist" is now Goddamned code for "lazy bum".
I work my tail off educating my clients to no avail... I'm constantly being offered ridiculously low rates or worse... "a piece of the action" to do my work
