The issue with this is that because the client is paying they expect that the site should be done to what they like, animated gifs, flash, clashing colours. It is as you have said in your comment about finding a balance between yourself, the client and their clients.

What a great article, I wish that clients would listen when I tell them this, but it feels like such a losing battle to make them realise that there site is for the end user and not for their personal tastes.

Yup I think it is very much a balance of designing something that helps promote them, stays true to their existing brand but is about converting those visitors rather than being about the clients or the designers design tastes.

I spend so much time convincing clients that the website is for their customers more than it is them, while they do have to like the end result, its that it works in converting visitors to leads that’s important not that its that favourite colour green they painted their back room.

another great article Helen, keep em coming..

“It’s not about the clients tastes” – too right! I wish clients would listen a bit more to designers – there can’t be many professions where the customer can dictate so much.
