[thelist] What do clients look for?

[chris]

Actually, the sticking point in the whole "my company got ripped off"
conversation for me was that the reason "upper management loves it is
because it's american"... Which begs the question .. If the target market
wants to do business with an overtly american company via their website, how
trashy must the website be to attract them? 

To what extent does a web developer have a responsibility to say "no that's
too trashy" if it's what the client wants?  

With that in mind, http://www.americancustomercare.com/ would be a brilliant
marketing strategy for any large non-american corporation that wanted to
generate "local" U.S. business by masquerading as a ma and pa.

Just some thoughts

Funny we have talked about the two extremes, The 12 year old who will do it 
for $200.00 and the over priced slick agency that thinks they are a web
house. The problem is that the mundanes' just do not understand. As to what
they look for, I find they often do not know. They just want a 
good site.
