Praise indeed, from a <em>real</em> designer! I recognise the dilemma. Give the client what they want, or give them what they don't know they need. My tack is to do a good job, sound intelligent about what's required and refuse to do a rubbish job, just because they want it like that. The Davroc site is way cool. And, don't even get me started on punctuation. ;) Thanks James. Praise indeed, from a real designer! I recognise the dilemma.

I think you've captured what most web designers want from a client - to be able to use whitespace, or neutral space. The problem is most clients don't want it. Most people think that visual clutter constitutes professional design. One of my favourite websites of all time is http://interiors.davroc.co.uk. Easy to navigate, and a very "confident" website. You've pointed out spelling, and I'd add punctuation to that. I've had to go back and unlearn some bad habits and I'm still relearning! Excellent article Dawn.
