what about a compromise... if they are unconcerned about the load time (and
im sure you can minimise the dammage) you could have the six small images
mouseover to display the larger images in a layer that would fall overtop...
that way, no popups & no mess :P

Hi all,

Came across the evolt website and was impressed.. so here I am.

A question for you all.. How do you deal with clients want something that
is, in your experience,  impractical?  As an example, my client wished to
have 6 small photos per car and also 6 larger versions of those photos.  I
designed it so you would click on the small version and the large version
would appear in a popup window, that would close when the focus when back to
the main page (so you won't have multiple popups).

Now they have requested I change the design to have the 6 small photos AND
the 6 large photos ALL on the same page because they believe people will
find it annoying having to close the popup window (which they don't have
to).  I have no idea why they wish to do this as it's impractical (slow
loading, and the small pictures become redundant).

As a perfectionist should I just leave it, and deliver the product they
want, or ask them to stick with my choice?

.:peace
Rachel
