Client Topia Link

A friend sent me this link, and although I found it very funny, I also found it very sad and true.

As a Web Developer I have many clients like this... *sigh*

Taken from http://www.clientcopia.com/

I'm not a professional I just make sites on the side for fun (and sometimes a little profit) A local pub landlord wanted a one pager just contact details and directions to the pub, no problem thats right up my street. I tell him as I drink in the pub it will be cheap, not free but cheap. "Just because it's cheap doesn't mean I don't want quality" Thats absolutely true I try to live by the same rule. 1st version "don't like it" no reasons why, 2nd, 3rd up to 8th version "don't like it". I say to him you know I am not creating all these versions for free you know every time you turn one down I add a little bit to the bill to cover the time spent. "Cost me more! You haven't given me enough choices yet I haven't chosen one yet it shouldn't cost me! Trying to think of a way to get though to him I said come on we will go down to your bar. When we got there I said right pull me 8 pints of lager. "why" he said "before I start pulling them", Because I want choices, pull 8 pints of lager for me to look at and I will pay for the one I like the look of. "But that will cost me mon...... oh I see" We got to business and had his site up in 2 days.
