From now on, when someone asks my opinion on their website, I'm just going to lie...
and tell them I think it's great, no matter how ugly it is.
It amazes me when people ask for an opinion and when you point out some things you don't like they get offended. This is business. When I want an opinion on a page I want them to tell me if it sucks instead of wasting money on something that won't sell.
I'm going to make up a standard reply right now...
"Wow man that looks great! Did you do that yourself or did you go through a design firm?
[whatever their response is]
No way! It looks like it was professionally done.
[whatever their response is]
Right on, well it came out killer. The colors and the layout are really well done."
then a month later when it fails I'll say...
"No way! I don't believe. It looked great I thought it would be a huge success."
I copied this into notepad and whenever someone asks me their opinion I'll paste it into the chat.
