Top 8 Dreaded Favors Asked of Web Designers.
There are a million questions that could be asked and most span multiple careers, but Web Design Ledger has what it thinks are the top eight most horrific questions a family member / friend / client can ask you.
- “Can you take a look at my site and tell me what you think?”
- “Um, would you mind designing my site… for free?”
- “Can you help me design my site to look like ______?”
- “I think I have a virus.”
- “Let me help you with any of your extra work.”
- “So, it’s been a minute… How much longer is it going to take?”
- “Can I use your server until I get my own hosting?”
- “Hey, I volunteered you to re-do ______.”
Visit Web Design Ledger for scenarios of each dilemma and lessons learned. The main problem I tend to run into is clients want a million mockups. I promise them one, maybe two at max, then let them sit on it for a bit.
