You know what I hate most, and I'm sure most will agree:

Designer: "Do you've any sites in mind that you would like the look of. And or, just name a few of your favorite website designs online. That way I can get a feel for what you like."

You: "Well, I love this design at EXAMPLE-SITE.com as well as EXAMPLE-SITE2.COM. Both are extremely well designed. Great quality!

Designer: "To be honest, although both sites look good, they're below my skill level. I assure you I can make a mock-up, very similar in color scheme, twice as nice in quality, and a overall look that will astound you much more than those mentions above.

Week later, it sucks. Primitive, 1999 angelfire/geocities type of imaging. The audacity, to belittle someone else's quality work. And promise to not only match the work above, but to "exceed it". Fucking amazing how low these fucks go to sell themselves.
