Clients from Hell

Heute war einer dieser Tage und wer es noch nicht kennt, dem wird jetzt der Clients from Hell Tumblr  wärmstens von mir empfohlen. Reine Psychohygiene. Beispiele? Gern!

International website

After creating and delivering a website as requested I received an email from the owner of the business asking to translate the website.The email was originally from his partner.

“Hey [Owner’s Name] can you ask [my Name] to translate the website to at least 5 or 6 languages?, my son sent me a link to Babelfish and I think it would be a wasted opportunity if we only have the website in English. Seems that this could be done in a couple of hours”

hehehe! Noch einer!

We were wrapping a client’s project up and we asked them to send us the text content they wanted on the production version so we could flow it in. They asked what format did we need and we said really whatever works for them. What we received were cropped screenshots of word documents, which were each embedded into a word document.

huhuhu! noch EINER!

Client: “Can you make the background of the page red?”

Me: “Wow, I don’t recommend it, it will look horrible. Do you mean like this? (Showing #FF0000)”

Client: “Yeah, and text in orange. It will attract more visitors.”

hihihihi! *schnief!*

I need a website. The information on the website is top secret, so I need it to only be up during business hours, as to avoid hackers and competition from getting hold of the information. I’d also prefer we hosted it on a Mac.
