The Web Development Clients’
10 Commandments
READ THE ARTICLE AT DRIVL.COM

This article is a hilarious look at what technology-related personnel from all mediums tend to deal with and although on rare occasions you can find someone who is willing to do it all, I think it is important to remember what you hired someone for to begin with. If you hired a graphic artist, don’t expect them to be phenomenal at web design unless they explicitly told you they were capable and/or would be willing to do that task. The same is true of web designers and graphics, content creation etc. If you want someone who can do all that you need either hire a team or find someone who is experienced at doing it all but above all be specific in your plans. Explain to the individual(s) helping you to create your site what it is you will need and what you can and can’t do by yourself. Let them know what you expect of them beforehand and they can then decide whether or not to continue but most of all, don’t be upset if something was not mentioned beforehand and the individual(s) you hired are not capable of doing it or are unwilling to do it. Sometimes our alloted time slots are so tight that we are only able to give the budgeted hours and fix bugs in our sites. Anything above and beyond is a bonus but not necessarily a given.
