You know what's better than one client sub-product manager disliking your sitemap and giving you one they made? TWO sub-product managers disliking your sitemap and giving you one they made! This one took off the other department's content. #clientprobs #webdesign #designprobs #ux
“Never use Lorem Ipsum for wireframes. It’s lazy design.” Okay, so I’m lazy but the past-deadline copywriter isn't? #givemecopyorgivemedeath #webdesign #design

"We can't use tabbed navigation. No one will be able to tell they're on a different website from other sites." My confused life makes sense now. All of my problems stem from thinking all tabbed/mega menued sites are the SAME WEBSITE! #clientprobs #webdesign #uxdesign

"I want you to write code that will prevent users from bookmarking our website." "What?" "And I want it to remove the bookmarks of everyone who previously bookmarked our site." "So... You want us to code you a virus?" #clientprobs #webdesign

The client moved up the web launch date. And didn't tell us. We found out on social media. #agencylife #Webdesign @clientsfh
When since January the timeline was for site launch in November and the Dev team casually tells you it's scheduled to launch in February and they just started development in October. #webdesign #agencylife #thinkcalmthoughts
Dev last week: "Can we take the social share off this quote until post-launch?" Dev this week: "Since you said we could take the share functionality off the entire site until post-launch..." #lostintranslation #agencylife #webdesign

#UXDesign: Where "Let's user test Mark because he thinks differently" means "Let's use test Mark because he couldn't think his way out of a paper bag." #agencylife

"We're different from your other clients. We've worked with other #design agencies before so we like things done our way." Oh honey. Who do you think we are, your nephew at design school? #ohnohedidt #agencylife
