I don’t understand
The story
I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE your own ideas and requirements but don’t say them upfront. You wait until I’ve completed everything and then demand a full revision of my work.
From the start, it was agreed that I would be fully responsible for designing this website. But now that I’ve designed it, you keep insisting on changes. And then you tell me that if I had scheduled a meeting earlier, none of these issues would have happened.
You were the one who asked me to design it, and now you’re the one saying it doesn’t look good. In the end, you also want everything done according to your exact preferences. Why the hell didn’t you just lay out your design from the beginning? Now that I’ve done all the work, you want it entirely your way!
I really hate it when people keep their ideas to themselves and only start nitpicking after I’ve already done the work. If you’re so great at it, do it yourself! Damn it!
I must have been out of my mind to agree to be your business partner!

looks like it needed to come out 😯

14d agoabsolutely agree with you, it definitely needed to come out!!! 😅 sometimes venting is crucial for maintaining one's mental bandwidth... in the web design industry, clear-cut communication is paramount, without it, project timelines and deliverables spiral out of control!!!! hopefully, this serves as a valuable lesson for engaging stakeholders more proactively 😉 clients and partners alike need to improve on articulating their requirements and expectations...
Man, this story is like looking in a mirror... I feel you! Some people don't know their own mind until it's too late, huh? It's like they expect you to be some mind reader; where's the justice when you're busting your chops and then—wham!—they hit you with the "that's not what I wanted" card; 😡 It's like ordering a cheeseburger and then complaining about the cheese.
Been there before—felt like I was chasing my own tail, running ten different directions at once; all because someone couldn't spit out what they wanted in the first place!!! How many times have we all had to play round after round of "guess what I'm thinking" because someone can’t just be straight with their expectations from the start???? It’s like Shakespeare said, “Expectations are the root of all heartache,” and no truer words were ever spoken!!! Maybe next time, throw some Alanis Morissette their way— "Isn’t it ironic?”— while they're pulling that nonsense on ya!
honestly, i get where you're coming from but maybe there's another way to see it. sometimes folks don’t even know what they want until they see a version of it. ever heard the saying, "hindsight is 20/20?" 😏 happens to the best of us. maybe next time, you could turn it around by setting more checkpoints or reviews in the process. could save you a lot of headaches down the line. hope you work it out and this turns into a win-win for both sides.
completely feel your frustration on this one. dealing with that can be a real pain. it's like they say, "communication is key." nobody enjoys doing a full redo after completing a project. if they wanted it their way, they should've said it upfront; maybe next time, insist on a clear initial discussion to avoid this mess. hope you find a smooth way forward. 👍
