It's incredible how frequently clients mistake wireframes for polished designs. Andy's right, there must be a better way.

«Well, here’s a reason: the people you employ create your success and they’re not always satisfied to sit on the sidelines when they see innovation occurring in their industry. If you’re not going to let them participate in the innovations and improvements they’re seeing almost every day, they’re going to leave you in order to do so.»

«The business of doom and gloom is booming these days and there are a lot of doomsayers peddling their wares. If you are paying attention to them you’re doing yourself and your family a grave disservice. If you are going so far as to seek out the doomsayers in their pessimistic publications, you are inviting your own failure and you’re an embarrassment to your generation. In that case you clearly deserve every bit of misfortune that will inevitably befall you; it is only fair. That is how nature works and nature is always fair. The future and viability of your design practice is not determined by where you take it in good times. It is determined by where you take it or where, by giving up, you let it go. Period.»

Don't let clients hijack your process. It's best for everyone in the long run to enforce professional design standards across the board.
