You really don’t want this client

Jeffrey Zeldman wrote an excellent article on clients signs that tell you that you don’t really want to work with them.

You can find the whole story here:

20 signs you don’t want that web design project

I hate it when a client does this (and it has happened on more then one occassion):

• Client announces that he is a “vision guy,” and will not be involved in the “minutia” of designing the website. He announces that his employee, the client contact, will be “fully empowered” to approve each deliverable.
• On the eve of delivery, the previously uninvolved “vision guy” sends drawings of his idea of what the web layout should look like. These drawings have nothing to do with the user research you conducted, nor with the approved recommendations, nor with the approved wireframes, nor with the approved final design, nor with the approved final additional page layouts, nor with the approved HTML templates that you are now integrating into the CMS.
