25 dumbest client questions ever!

I'd be interested in hearing some of everyones' responses to such questions

Bennet, I responded to one from an Indian visiting my site deciding to post a ticket with one much similar to "How much is a web site?" I said "Depends on how much your willing to spend" :P and then there was one like number 3, I responded to it saying "OK, can you give me a few examples?" - I'm really mean :P I love doing it too, yeh, I come across questions and stuff like that every day.

The dumbest I got ever asked is about 2-3 hours of designing someone asked me if I was done yet.

21. Why doesn't our site show up in French when I view the site from France?

^ LMAO!

The funniest one I had was the client telling me how much he thought websites were worth, how easy they were to make etc, boy did he get a shock when he found out the reality of it all.

I get this all the time.

I just remind them that the 10 businesses down the street that do the same thing they do, already have their website.

"Is there a way for people to view my website without an internet connection?"

"What does webhosting have to do with anything?!!!" - (When I informed him that he'd have to purchase hosting seperately.)

"I like the colors blue and white. Just make a website off of that."

"Is PHP the same as flash?"

"How much is a website?"

The most annoying thing I find in clients are the ones that ask me every day or every 5 hours to see the progress on their website. I guess they misinterprated when I told them I'd show them the progress.


I also absolutely hate when a client gives you a color scheme - but it is the ugliest color scheme you've ever heard of.

I'm working with a client now who has requested Blue, Yellow, Grey, White.

Blue and yellow is so ugly.

I bet I've heard all of those at least 100 times. My favorite is "I don't know how I want it to look, but i'll know it when I see it". Then when you give them something they specifically ask for and the see how hideous it actually is, they blame you for it.

some pretty funny stuff

Number 16 makes me lol

why is this in here?

The worst one, which gives me rage is:

me: Any idea how you'd like it to look?
client: Really nice

=================

Here are some others:

Me: Before work starts I require a non refundable deposit consisting of 50% of the total project sum.
client: But what if I don't like what you do?
Me: I'll work until you're happy with it.
client: but what if I'm not.
