As web designers, working with clients isn’t always as easy as we’d like. Sure, they’re the ones who keep us in business, but putting yourself in their shoes can be tough—and, as you all know, sometimes downright stressful. In this post, we’re sharing 10 situations that make every web designer want to cry.
If you’re in the business, you’ll definitely relate to every single one. Let’s have a laugh!
10 situations that make every web designer cry
0. Good, fast, cheap—pick two
- I thought you did custom websites within any budget.
- I never said it would be a cheap budget.
1. There’s always someone cheaper
There’s always someone willing to do it for half the price, then half of that, then for a ham sandwich… and not even the good kind.
2. It always happens
It’s important to stay true to yourself. Didn’t you always leave your homework until the last minute? #neverchange #beyourself
3. This can’t be real
Seriously? That’s an oxymoron!
4. Helvetica <3
- Even on its worst days, it’s beautiful.
- Who are you talking about?… You don’t have a girlfriend or a social life… You live in a cave!
- About Helvetica. Do you think it likes me?
5. Time to fold
I wrote an algorithm. End of discussion.
6. In a place not so far away…
Somewhere, a developer is working into the early hours. Pray for him.
7. Google, pls…
Didn’t you do SEO? I want to be on Google tomorrow.
8. While you’re at it…
Since you’re designing my new website, can you throw in a free logo? Oh, and the faucet and toaster need fixing too.
9. Not everything needs justification
Be careful what you justify. Not everything in life needs to be justified.
