How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell - The Oatmeal

Thank god most of my income doesn't come from design anymore, I've literally dealt with just about 1,000 clients, fortunately most were logo designs and not full websites. The worst I found were always clients that were local.

LOLOLOLOL

 

[blackrizo]

there's a point haha

 

[Versus]

Yep. Same goes for most industries.

You get the client, who starts off with the attitude "well you're the expert.. so you tell me!"

then boom. 2 phone calls every day, from every client, ideas and things they "forgot" about that are cruicial to the campaign... yadda yadda.

This is why I like affiliate marketing..

Good cartoon though, it should be sent out to all new clients... haha

Absolutely hilarious. Fits my previous life as a designer so perfectly.
Thanks for the share!

I'm helping a new start up company with their website... this is so god damn accurate it isn't even funny. +rep

 

[Grindstone]

Too funny. Design clients suck the hardest. Best to overcharge to limit your interaction.

 

[babylonian]

there's no fun in this biz, if there are no hell clients like these. you know it!

LMFAO at "This design is a crime against humanity." +rep for the laughs

 

[SpamHat]

This is 100% spot on - if anything it's weirder and more insane than this.

This is THE EXACT REASON that I don't do service based work for clients any more.

I would laugh, but it cuts a little too deep

 

[AllBizNiz]

That was pretty funny. Thanks for the laugh!

 

[medicalhumor]

Awesome find. Completely accurate. Kills me when clients do this and then you can't even use their damn site in your portfolio because it's too embarrassing to show anyone.

 

[slayerment]

And this is why I no longer deal with these moron clients that don't know how to build a business, create value or make money. Good riddance!

Matt's one of the best web guys out there. He knows what he's talking about.

This is my life. Every day.
