You’ve hired me to design a site for you. If you’d like to provide your own design ideas and have me just handle the technical implementation of those ideas, that will be an extra charge on top of my own design work (at my hourly rate). And, to keep us both in the clear legally, I won’t be able to replicate any specific designs or features of any other site.

My response to clients who say “make this bigger” or “I like the color of the menu on this site” or “can you tweak this just a little to look more like example.com?” Then I link to Jeff Croft’s Bring me problems, not solutions
