i can only speak about myself - and i usually prepare stuff for my programmer very well. And he understands the way i prepare it and usually builds it that way. But I am the one who pays and if he forgets something or fails to test the code before he puts it live and screws something up, i have the right to be unhappy.
Like my clients have the right to be unhappy when we screw something up they paid for. then it's my obligation to fix things instead of argueing or getting cocky.
Feel free to ask any of my clients if they're happy with my service, i would dare to say you will get a very positive feedback.
And the same attitude that i have towards my clients who pay me, i have towards the people I pay. Nothing more and nothing less.Comment

I can vouch for being a happy customer of yours
I do get what some people are trying to say. That respect goes both ways and that both parties in a transaction need to be liable for the conduct. I also agree that just because I am paying for something, does not give me any right to be a total and utter cock to the person who is selling.
At no point in my conversation with this lady did I say anything to insult her. After she replied to me, these are the emails that followed:
Her reply:Code:Hi Anna, As a customer who is looking for a designer, I think it is my prerogative to give you an idea of what I like and dislike so YOU as the designer can get a better idea of what I am looking for. I find it highly insulting that you would come back to me with a reply like this. You're punishing me because I happen to like the colours on the site of one of your competitors? Don't you think that is a little petty?
At this stage, I'd written her off and replied:Code:It is also my prerogative who i work for. Your second example link contains keywords that make me shudder.... And i wasnt being petty. If you like the work of another designer then it seems reasonable to hire them and not someone else.
She had to get the last word in; her reply:Code:I realise it is also your prerogative to decline work but your reply to me was plain unprofessional. The domain name you have a problem with is a site from a respected sponsor deiselaction which is the only reason I sent it to you. I am not in the habit of sending illegal links to people. Please don't bother replying to this email as I am no longer interested in anything you have to say.
And before anyone asks, all these emails were traded BEFORE I posted about this on here.Code:Ditto
I find it unimaginable that a person would conduct themselves like this with prospective buyers.Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I find that most.. (not all) creative types, Artists and Programmers, aren't much good at the people side of business. It just goes with the territory and takes a certain type of person to do the job. That having been said, what G-W replied would have most people who don't own their own business fired. She can do whatever she wants since it is her business, but she should expect some backlash for it, and should perhaps hire someone who is good at being a mediator between her and the client.Rich"at"rebel-ads.com

If that article is for real, then I'm really confused -Tell us about your design experience and what you offer to clients
The most satisfying ?design experience? for both parties can be achieved when I know exactly what the client needs/is expecting and the client knows exactly what information I need to make the best of their content and to make the site sell. I don?t claim to be the expert in every niche, so every design process starts with a lot of questions! I often ask the client to give me keywords (such as grungy, sleek, fresh) ? a quick and efficient way to give me an impression about the image in the clients head. I also appreciate screenshots/links to existing websites with a specific style/elements/details they?ve seen and liked

In all seriousness, if you really want to do something unique, one option is to find a mainstream designer who has a style that you really like. Then try to pair him/her with an adult designer who has experience in making the type of site you want.
