I'd support Ross in this.
I recently did the same thing with a client of
mine (not web design) even though it meant taking
a significant hit on cash flow - the hassle I was
getting just wasn't worth it. The funny part was,
within a week or so I had three calls from other
consultants I know

If they're insistent on using the photo then why not try the Windows
Vista-style design? I think Microsoft have hired some half-decent designers
as their Vista site is actually really nice visually.
For your project I'm referring specifically to the Vista start page:
, especially if it's
the full page background.

Agreed, I rarely have to fire a client but have done so on a couple of
occasions. Typically I screen the real PIA people out before they become
clients. As I told one person I'd rather be a greeter at Wal-Mart than work
with some people.
One person I mentored a few years back told me the best

I know it's lifted directly from the Windows Vista site, but I think it
manages to work in the photo very well, and in my personal opinion this is
really the only way you're going to be able to work in a solid photo as a
background and still maintain a
Wow! That looks great. Do you want to work with these people?? (Only

Hi all,
I have a client that I am really regretting taking on. One of the
reasons is that it is a small organization and the guy who I first spoke
to said that he was getting too busy and from now on I would work with
guy2. Guy2 then said that he was too busy and I would now work with
guy3.

Hi, Honestly, the first viewing of the page made me feel it's a joke; it's
not just the small issue of the menu (you can always make the box without
outline and with transparent background). It's the big problem of the whole
page design. And I don't think anyone here would not say so. Good
I know! The old design was awful and they seem to be steering this
design back to the old design. I don't know if I will even include this
site in my portfolio . . .
I find that without a colored background, the menu items are not legible.

Hi Deb,
Yes. I have fixed that but have not uploaded the new stylesheet yet.
Thanks for pointing it out.
I had a horizontal menu and they nixed (sp?) it and wanted a menu on the
side. I have half a mind to tell them to find someone else to do this.

If I were you I'd politely decline to continue the project on teh grounds
that it is incresing difficult and costly for you to operate with such
internal conflict on what this project is supposed to entail. Their

Thank you Ross. I have started e-mails to them but ended up never
sending them. That was probably a mistake!!

If you have to use the photo one possibility is making it smaller,
add an oval shape around it of a solid

Well, if you make the photo considerably smaller (like about half
it's current size) then you'd have room for text next to it or you
could put the text under it depending upon how much text there
is.
Yes. Thank you. I guess I am just so stressed from looking at this site
and dealing with these people that I can't think straight anymore.

Suggestion then would be to take a break from it. That's what I do
and it generally helps.
