 do a well designed useful site I can not beat the package price with 
 the "cute" ripply thing they can make our logo do. I do not do cookie 
 cutter sites with a book of templates to choose from. The art is for 
 the most part original or a rework of some print art used by the client 
 already. I do onsite photography. The copy is professionally 
 written. My sites validate HTML4 and Bobby.
     The client comes to me with the preconcieved notion of wanting the
 site to look like that www.******.com place .... you know where this
 or that happens .  It is a much harder sell to convince them why that
 is not good.  I never try to sell only the gimmicks first ..... my 
 question was if that is what they are willing to pay for, how much
 accesiblilty are we going to have to build into the price or can we 
 before they go to one of the "package deal" websites where the whole
 accesibility issue is never addressed? >>
Just my Humble opinion.......... All of the above not withstanding....the
client writes the check ....the client gets what he/she/they want. Once they
have it and find out it doesn't work for their product/market/business...thats
the time to go back in and do the sell. I find that in trying to change
preconcieved desires ....it can really tick a client off. yes there are right
ways and wrong ways to design/present and maintain sites and services.
However, the client is ALWAYS RIGHT, even if it's only because they sign the
check.
