[thelist] Re: My 12 year old son can do websites

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

I think the point being overlooked here is what kind of client is
this going to be for you. Having consulted for many years myself,
I've run into very similar situations more than once. 

The last time this happened to me, it wasn't the 12-year old, but it
was another "designer" who could "whip up a site in 2 days" and why
was it taking me so long? 

Without getting on a tangent on that point - the point I want to make
is this. You can be at least 50% sure this isn't going to be a client
you want. This has WARNING written all over it. 

I agree don't insult the son, but take some of the good advice you
got. And if the guy does not get the point the FIRST TIME, I would
walk away and say thanks but no thanks.
