Haha nice!

I think that if we are not careful we can rely too much on what we “know” and we short the client by not looking through their eyes, and helping them convey their message.

Amen on the wife thing brother. I can never understand why my wife sacrifices comfort for looks when it comes to shoes, but when I comment how nice some lingerie looks when we are in VS, she’d tell me those are extremely uncomfortable to wear. go figure… i can’t win

Very nice article. The entire series has been very helpful and inspiring. I will definitely consider all of the valid points made during my next web design project. Angel’s last blog post..12 Days of Christmas: The Ultimate Christmas Resources List
