me and my business partner have built few websites for people some websites for big corps. but the thing that annoys my partner is they always change the design to how they want it... but how they want it is very ... hmm dated... not poor (well it would be by today's standards) but just old styled.
I am normally fine as long as it is semi respectable because all my work is server side so my work is as it should be (even though normal internet users wouldn't understand the magic of websites :p so the only time someone cares is if something goes wrong) either way i am not as bothered if i still get paid or get work with big names as its more advertising.
while my partner gets angry at the customers for messing with his work and he dosen't want us putting alot of the stuff on our portfolio as its just not great.
what do you think is more important? the respect of a good design and the proud feeling you get? or the money and the advertisement ? would you sacrifice your name for your next pay cheque?
