Well said Charles, a client might say I want an e-commerce site that is the business requirement, as the experts the developer claims to be in this case Adapt-IT they need to draw the line and setup bounderies which the client cannot cross as far as layout navigation etc, the point is you have said it well more than I could.

sadly I could not attend the 27Dinner.. I was working on a number of client websites and planning a talk on social media for a signage exhibition at the time..

As an I.T company does Adapt-IT not know that open source is the future?

Secondly, a major part of developing websites includes client or customer education. That is why the client does what he or she does best and you do what you do best. I assume they got the tender because they were considered “the best”. Ande being the best at what you do includes explaining to the client why you do what you do so well. You explain design aesthetics, navigation, emarketing follow-thru, optimisation etc..

As a web developer your job is to let the client know in no uncertain terms that the last person whose use the website is developed for is the client. It’s a projection of the client, but it’s not for his use.. and who understands the use of websites better than a company that develops websites..

Excuses..
