But I should say that most of the strategic decisions are made by the program/site owner, not the designer in most cases unless he is also the owner. When the client has no clue, that's when trouble starts.

i keep telling myself to buy some post-it notes (the little ones) next time i get supplies. but usually when i do that, my monitor gets covered in little notes, lol.
i can deal with it if they don't know what they want stuff to look like, that's not as much of a problem.
the problem lies in the fundamentals of the site. things like how they're going to promote the site (who to/how it's going to be marketed), that sort of thing. then it's pretty much shooting blind.
but, what is important for a designer is research. not to duplicate others, but to find out what works, what doesn't. sure, you can waste a few hours doing that, but it's time well spent.
