Re: Commercial site critique and question

Well, I worked as the commercial webmaster for a company this past
summer, and it was very frustrating! What you need to do I fell is convince
the customer that you know whats best, hey thats why they hired you or
otherwise
they should have done it themselves! (dont tell them that of course!) As for
input, but
its best to try an keep the customer out of the everyday happening of the
building of the
site b/c of just that, they want to "help" on every aspect which can be very
frustrating!
By the way:
Windows 98
IE 4.01 SP1
Netscape Communcator 4.05
1152x864
32 bit color
33.6 modem
The site loaded fast and has a very professional appea; to it!
Great job!
