What is your behavior when the customer offers frank game during edits? Are you trying to explain why it shouldn't be done? By what methods?

Question

Design

in 90% of cases, what I publish in the portfolio and what is actually very different. I always try to give reasonable logical reasons why I did it this way and not otherwise. But very rarely I manage to change my mind.
I read a lot of information and get inspired by the best that is on the world web. I work mainly with peddlers. I understand that I can mess up too, and if I'm wrong, then I take it calmly. But there are situations out of the ordinary.

Answer 1

It seems that Lebedev once said that an agreement is concluded for each stage of work, respectively, with stage-by-stage payment, the agreement indicates how many design options are offered and discussed, if the customer is confused and more than one option does not suit him, they calmly part, the money paid for the completed stages is not are returning.
But this studio is not profitable for them to do hack work, because it will ruin their image and portfolio.
You have a slightly different option, but if you still want to make a cool portfolio without hack work, I would prefer to part with such a customer or, if possible, remain anonymous to the performers than to try to explain to the next sane people or companies that it was the will of the customer for hack work, and not bullet in your head.

Answer 2

Just imagine: you want a website and pay Lave and such Lave that the performer himself asked for, and if the performer compasses the brain, like he is so smart ... then I’m 100% sure you will leave him ...
So you don’t pay the customer, but on the turn ...
The performer is like a taxi driver ... he was told to go and he goes if the customer pays the taxi driver for speed and so on and pays well .. then it’s not true

Answer 3

The customer always needs to offer a more valuable alternative (in terms of quality), show on a specific example and make a visual comparison.
The task is in no case to try to convince him!
The task is to offer the customer his own version as simply as possible (and without further ado) and give him the opportunity to decide for himself: which of the existing options to choose.
Then, do as he asks.

Answer 4

At each stage (prototype-design-layout) the number of edits should be discussed. Small edits are not a problem. For example, moving the logo is not a problem. If you need to redraw all the buttons (as a result, the rest of the controls), after the design is approved, then for a noticeable surcharge.
There is also a psychological moment, the more expensive your services, the less they will argue with you.

Answer 5

The answer lies on the surface: if there is a logical, rational explanation why you should not do this, post it. The customer is not an enemy, most often.

But I think

тут классический синдром начинающих дизайнеров. Они вдохновляются "лучшим что есть мировом вебе", а потом мы видим сайты по продаже металлопроката, которые выглядят как главная Эппла. А позователю это не нужно, ему бы прайс посмотреть, но прайс на таких сайтах где-то глубоко спрятан.
