In our weekly installment of Clients from Hell, a hilarious collection of anonymously contributed client horror stories from designers, we present to you, "Can you make this website look like a fancy hotel room?" For previous posts, click here.
I sent an email to a client asking if they could send me some examples of websites that they found attractive. They provided me with everything else except this so I continued with designing composites based on previous information and comments they had made. After I submitted these comps:
Client: I like the direction you’re going but can you make it more fancy?
Me: Can you give me an example of a website that you find to be “fancy” so that I have an idea of what you’re looking for?
Client sent me an email with photos of 4-5 different hotel bedrooms in it.
Client: Can you make the website look like these rooms?
