A few years ago I worked as a freelance web designer before focusing on web development. My second client was a local plumber with 3 employees. He asked me to create his new website.
Client: Hey, can you help me with my new website?
Me: Of course, what do you want?
Client: My website should exactly look like my business card. With a fixed height and about 4 static pages. Ah, and I won’t pay more than 300 bucks.
Me: (aghast)
The business card was designed in a bright green, a royal blue and white font color and several graphics matching his business.
He sent me his card as a PDF. That’s all he had…
Long story short: I did it, cried, and didn’t tell ANYONE that I made his website.
You poor bastard
