I guess when you look at it that way it does make sense. I was speaking from my own experience because most of my previous clients were smart and driven people who wanted to learn how to use their sites.

Thats how everyone starts. It all seems so easy at modifying HTML content, then they hit programming and realize they need to hire someone.

To extend on Jake's analogy, sometimes even do it yourself people still need help. I rarely call professionals to do things because I can often figure them out, but the other month I had a drain I could not replace because I could not get it out. Even though I know the basics of replacing stuff I had to call in a plumber because I couldn't remove the damn drain. It was simply beyond my skill level and I wasnt about to become a plumber in order to fix it.
