Re: A web designer's job?

I guess you can segregate what you will and won't do for the client.  I =
personally would put it in pdf format for the client.  Why should =
someone else get that money?  Besides, it's clearly in the best =
interests of the client (IMHO) to be a "one stop" source for all web =
needs.

Just my thoughts...=20

Subject: A web designer's job?
Date: 7/30/02 12:05 PM

I have a client who wanted to put his catalog online in PDF format.
He asked me about it and I gave him information about several software
programs that would create the files for him, and that I would be
happy to put them on his web site once they were created.  Later I
found out that his friend was very critical of me, saying that if I
had been a "professional" web designer, I would have had the software
to do this for him, hence I was a poor web designer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was the web designer's job
to design the backgrounds, navigation buttons/bars, and adjust/resize
pictures to put on a web site, do the layout and functionality of the
web site, etc., to make it work properly for the intention for which
it was created.  For this I have all the proper software and I have
many happy clients.  Is it my job to also have the PDF software to put
catalogs into PDF format, or is this the job of a graphics art
designer or the client himself?

Just curious.... thanks,
Lonna
