Client walks into a Bar and Says...

Vizual definition’s philosophy is simple: Communicate and define the world visually. The eyes are the gate to the Soul. Seeing is believing. You’ve Got to See it to Believe it! And the clichĂ©s can go on for days.

Ultimately, as a designer, I am looking to capture ideas and present them in the form of visual communication.

Here is how the story goes:

Client walks into a Bar at 9AM and says to the web designer: I need a dynamic, awesome, interactive website. I need it fast and want to keep it simple and cheap (free if possible).

A slight pause.

He continues: How ‘bout it?

The web designer, who is in the bar at 9AM because of clients just like this one, finishes his (fill in your favorite brand of poison) and says through intoxicated lips, “Sure when can we begin.”
Thus begins the journey (or nightmare, depending on your outlook).

I know the story usually doesn’t involve alcohol, but it almost always include a client with high expectations and low buy-in.

More for Less and here lies the problem: How can I give more and get less?

How can a web designer answer all the needs of the client for less?

Answers to questions like this is what this blog will attempt to answer...with help from you also.
