How/When/Why you "fire" a client?
Oh clients... an appealing experience or a big headache. I usually (or used to) get nice people as clients. They would tell me what they want, I'd take out more info from them, and then it goes smoothly.

But this two last clients were the worst I've had so far... I managed to finish the work for one of them, but I just had to quite working with the other one. What they had in common was their blocked mind. They wanted me to copy some websites, which I obviously refused to do.

I convineced the first one to move to another style from scratch... but he wasn't nice during the process either.

The other one was a different story, he wanted me to copy another theme, I gave him a different but a bit similar concept. And he was like "oh like that, go ahead". But when I was done he started to request "some changes" to make it look exactly the same. It was too much... I won't ever copy somebody else's design (as I don't want that to happend to me). I had to tell him I wouldn't do that, and recommended him some other themers who'd accept to his request.

Interesting stories, they deserved to "get fired".
I hope that I`m not on of these "negative" clients. Big Grin
I would never ask anybody to copy others work. Smile
