 I disagree.  It's unethical for a web designer to simply pocket
 the check and do what the client wants, if the designer knows it's
 not in the best interests of the client.
 
 It's even worse to come back months later, after their website
 has failed (as you knew it would) and sell them "the job done
 _right_ this time" for an extra fee.

When you have attempted to educate the client ...and their response is "I know
what I want " it is completely ethical to take the money and when they realize
their mistake ( as they always do) charge them again. :-) 
And yes it is about the money ;-) However these are Just my personal opinions,
I'm not attempting to change anyones ethics or lack thereof.
1 I never do a site without a contract
2 I never start a site untill I have all content in hand
3 I require 50% up front at/along with signed contract
4 I never release the url till payment is made in full 
Those 4 steps have saved me fromk aggravation cause by people, usually
accquaintences that presume that you'll let it slide ;-)
