Client Nightmares Are Felt Worldwide

As a college student in a web design/development major, I run across many students that honestly feel that since they are great designers, that they will have NO problem what so ever in the industry.

Little do they know clients aren't designers but they feel they are. It is great to let a client have their input. Obviously they are the one's with the reason to build a web site or have something designed. They have the business plan, know what they are trying to accomplish and how they are going to market themselves to meet that goal line.

What they don't know is that the web is different medium is isn't a traditional way of marketing. Just for that reason, you must be firm with your input and direction.

I recently saw an article at MB Web Design, a web design firm located in Whales, that really hit home on this issue. I recommend all web designers or anyone looking to become a freelancer to check it out. You may see it at http://www.mbwebdesign.co.uk/blog/
