Your headline is missing an apostrophe: it should be "Let's put the value...". In myth 2, you wrote "loose time" where it should be "lose time" with one O. Best wishes, Zarg This is intended most respectfully, since I think your work and blog is very good indeed, but something that’s also important in creating a good impression is correct English. Your headline is missing an apostrophe: it should be “Let’s put the value…”. In myth 2, you wrote “loose time” where it should be “lose time” with one O.

Best wishes,
Zarg

Each time one of my clients has a friend or relative doing their web design, I know it's 1) going to be sloppy 2) going to take a very long time. With so many affordable options to get a clean, simple and effective design, there's just no excuse in my book. Having said this, I set up my own website using a simple wordpress template with the help of a few design elements from my designer. It's not perfect, but it works really well. But I can't wait to re-invest in a re-design and upgrade soon. Thanks for your post! Karin I second that!

I am not a webdesigner, I am a young graphic designer.. Imagine those myths in Brazil.. (where I am from) this is much bigger! People just don´t value this work.. but things are starting to change. I think we have a lot of great design agencies rising with their talent... so the future clients will be more well-educated by the impact of the good design in well succeded companies. Great!

Especially the bigger they get. Most businesses want people to bid on their project just as contractors bid on a multitude of other business needs. In short, I disagree that they should state their budget. Even if they do state it, I still think it's completely professional to request RFP's or bids. For those that don't know an RFP is a Request for Proposal. Most businesses are used to RFP’s and bids being included. Especially the bigger they get.
