Just as early filmmakers struggled to break free from the conventions of live theater, after 10+ years Web designers are still trapped in the structures of the past. Forget pages, linear text and other archaic vestiges of design’s print ancestry; the separation of content from presentation has already changed everything.
This is the original version of the popular Designer vs Client video. Based on the animated GIF of the same message. If anyone has any more info on the original author please drop me a line to credit them properly.

The design is what is does…that’s as revolutionary as the Medium is the Message…
Haha FACEbook is just a COOL, boring, nice, and BORING layout, but nice apps.. hehe bottom line? FACEBOOK, you need to hear this.. start having CSS customation… haha
Great info-tech-mation, we really need to see this and get involved in the real, focus… Great One Sir.
exactly: design needs to be in on the process from the beginning. it’s not an add-on, it’s not final touches, its not gloss. it’s not just how the paint adheres, it’s how even the frame connects to the body.
Fantastic – would love to see more on this!!
Great Info!
so facebook was listening to this guy, recently, hey?
Is there a full version of this anywhere?
I do not think there is anything wrong with doing a little work for free to get established as long as it is not for people that could or should pay you. If you are going to volunteer your time it should for something worthwhile. (Like a web site for a charitable organization.) Working for a business for free is just stupid. Making a website for an individual for free harms your credibility and income potential. I might make an exception for family members, but thats about it.
This video is good…
I think I will have to show this video to lots of people
LOL this is great!
As a website designer, this was spot on.
F*ck free work. F*ck you pay me and pay everyone who you need to pay.
LOL, this happened to my hubby just the other day, thats after he spent 2 weeks on a site from scratch!
very good.
Think of all the exposure you will get.
Lol
funny comparison. but the voices suuuuuuckass.
I design websites for a living and the cheapest is as low as around $1,000 … You get what you pay for…
Time is money, why should I spend a couple of days building a website for someone FREE, when someone else could be paying me! LOL It’s simple intelligence!
This is awesome and soooooooo true.
I was thinking of sending this to all my cheap clients.
gay
Wow, I’ve had this same conversation!
“You massive cock”
lmao. Fantastic.
That’s how I got my site made, ha!
Fantastico!
HOOOOOLy shit this is funnny!!!!!!!
I just LOVE these videos as they are so true. Why are there so many piss takers out there??! After all, how many times does a Solicitor meet a prospect who asks for a quick, cheap divorce? Never. A prospect expects to pay the going rate for a professional service.
That’s a good point.
this is every web design client ever
haha so good!
Im going to use this one next time! this is a good one!
I always tell people that I cannot work for free because it puts me in direct competition with myself. It is just not good economical-sense.
roflmao…
