TIL a client's 'quick feedback' comment cost me 12 hours of rework
Honestly, I had this one client named Mark last year who always said 'just a quick feedback' before sending me a laundry list of changes. We met up at a coffee shop downtown, and he spent two hours going through every line of my design with a red pen. He kept saying things like 'this shade of blue isn't quite right' and 'can we move that button 3 pixels left?' At first I thought he was just being thorough, but by the end I realized he had no clue what he wanted. I ended up redoing the whole landing page because he changed his mind on the core message. Has anyone else dealt with a client who can't make a single clear decision without dragging you into a rabbit hole of tweaks?
