Infographic: The Anatomy of a Horrible Web Design Client

The Anatomy of a Horrible Web Design Client

The ideal web design client willingly accepts professional advice from a qualified web designer, but a horrible web design client rejects all recommendations. If the web designer recommends specific colors for the website, they are either too dull or too bright. If the web designer suggests certain fonts, the horrible client is sure to reject these because he or she thinks they do not adequately depict the intent of the website.




A web designer who has the unfortunate bad luck of having to deal with a horrible web design client has several options. The web designer can politely inform the client that the workload is full, and that there is no available time in which to design the website. The designer can tell the client that he or she is free to design the website without expert assistance. The third option is that the designer can inform the client that all preliminary work requires a 90 percent down payment. The final option is the last straw, and the designer can use this approach when all else fails.

Good article with great graphics. For my web design, I'm a little lazy so I use wordpress because it's simply beautiful and has many themes we can use.

Hi Christian! I agree with the 50% upfront! But still, everything's going to be a waste, the hours and your time, if you create a design and then the client will not like it.

Great inforgraphic! I build WordPress websites for a living and loved this. This is so funny! Typically, I have clients pick out a Thesis Theme Child Theme and we start from there. So that eliminates the need for all the mockups. I don't do conventional websites anymore for the reasons listed in this infographic!

Thanks for sharing!

It is funny because the infographic really reflects most of the website design clients. I, for one, don’t like it when a client is not open to limitless ideas. Sometimes, their choices are so awkward that it creates wrinkles on your face. But what to do when they selection is bad? Either you tell them the truth or be satisfied with their satisfaction.
