Much appreciated :) 2 years ago I developed a 100+ page site based on the techniques I learned here at the asylum. The business involved is one of my earlier clients, so I did it for cheap, just to gain experience, blah, blah. I was not working FT, so I needed the experience/money. Now I work FT as a Graphic Designer, freelancing web design on the side. Over the course of the last year, he has contacted me to do various text/image updates and revise the menu bar to a dhtml drop down. In the last 6 months he has taken it upon himself to learn Adobe GoLive and has made many changes to the site. He added text in a different font style than what I used, used images without the consistent drop shadow I implemented. . .the list goes on. Basically making a polished site look like a novice did it. When I viewed his site I almost got nauseas. All the many hours I spent calculating table width/height, optimizing images- all to make the site the best it could be- seemed like a waste of time. He has taken over the site and made it ugly! Over the course of our relationship I dealt with his suspicious attitude (he would argue over exactly what I did for each invoice I would give him-acting like I was trying to screw him over), and now I see he made a mess out of the beautiful site I built. QUESTION: Is it common for clients to make changes to sites? How would you guys react to this. I do not need his $20/hour anymore- I can go after other small business for more money and continue to build my portfolio. Many thanks. CRO8 Loading...
