Caving

OK, just blowing off a little steam.

On the verge of a total cave with a client. After about six rounds of revisions with a web project, am right at the point of shutting the frak UP, keeping my professional advice to myself, and just doing whatever retarded thing they ask for and get the sign-off and build the damn thing. Hopefully they'll back

But if I get any crap about how they don't want to pay me for the first 37 versions and variants, because "well, we didn't use THOSE." I will seriously chew nails.

Luckily your contract will make sure that doesn't happen, right?

Actually, we're cool for the most part.. just having a frakkin' moment.

One good sign... I showed her something kind of really clunky that they requested, and they backed off to something nicer. So there's hope!

Since it's a redesign of a site I initially designed and built, we're at the hourly/billed monthyly stage. Thank the gods the meter has been running. And other than all this dinking around, these are really sweet people and I know they are trying to make something nice. But I just wish they'd ... my contact mostly, focus a bit and I didn't have to show very conceivable permutation and design choice... just pick something.

But still, better to do this sort of stuff at THIS end, rather than repeatedly build, tear down and rebuild the new site. That REALLY piles up the hours - and I have other clients!
