This has a great message in it...it's amazing how many people want you to do what they need for free but they would never do their job for free...thumbs up!
Controversial question: Suppose web developers were unionized... would this kind of scenario be less likely? What is your opinion on web developers forming a union to protect their rights?
So because our products are intangible (websites that exist only in computer memory) we should be expected to do them for free? That's intangible product discrimination!
Unless you're a designer, people do not believe that our clients really do say the strangest things! My brother's last client wanted him to talk to her priest! I'm not joking. I saw the email.

"oh do it for free and i will advertise for you"... OK, can I punch you in the face until your nose breaks? It will be good practice for me and I'll tell everyone how good you were at getting your face punched. God, clients are such COCKS.
If you want to see some really wicked web design stuff,||Want to see some seriously awesome web design stuff?} look at w ww. interkiwi webdevelopers . c om. . Some pretty awesome stuff site}.
Just bookmarked this, and I'm going to show it to everyone that asks me for free websites and free designs. I get those requests all the f*cking time and this is so spot on!
HAHAHA!! WICKED! I hate clients/friends that say that, "oh do it for free and i will advertise for you"... errmmm get lost! *how does that sound*?? lol
I do not think there is anything wrong with doing a little work for free to get established as long as it is not for people that could or should pay you. If you are going to volunteer your time it should for something worthwhile. (Like a web site for a charitable organization.) Working for a business for free is just stupid. Making a website for an individual for free harms your credibility and income potential. I might make an exception for family members, but thats about it.
I design websites for a living and the cheapest is as low as around $1,000 ... You get what you pay for... ;) Time is money, why should I spend a couple of days building a website for someone FREE, when someone else could be paying me! LOL It's simple intelligence!
I just LOVE these videos as they are so true. Why are there so many piss takers out there??! After all, how many times does a Solicitor meet a prospect who asks for a quick, cheap divorce? Never. A prospect expects to pay the going rate for a professional service.
hahaha omg I've had SO many client meetings like this! Why do people think that web design should be free? If they wanted a free site, they could go get a template and host on Yahoo.
The using of a non-person used to be frowned upon, but text to voice video creation expands the capability of creating videos to a great mass of people who have some good ideas and points to deliver. I like it.
hahaha this video is hilarious because it's SO TRUE! this happens to me wayyyy too often! I'm just going to start sending clueless clients to this page from now on!
Quite a few. The video's still a long way behind the later (and slightly better) inspired version by mentaldesigner with 590,000 views. It's good to see Ashton has a sense of humour on this subject.
i just got a client that came in a hour ago to do a website for his car sales lot too! and he wants a cheap price website but with lots of flash works. man i wish i could say what the robot said, to the client. i would love to drive a new corvette or a 300M off his lot.
Well... I don't agree with the last three words... "you massive ________" but free labor degrades any profession. You would never ask a doctor, attorney, cpa...etc. to work for nothing. 3,000,000 Websites go online each month, so the prospect of building one for free is less than exciting. I know how great it is to get something for free but their is a negative cost associated with free work and the rest of the industry pays for it.
my friend asked me if i can design her tattoo for her (im an illustrator) and i asked her if im getting paid for this.
she said its something that shes going to wear for the rest of her life and i should feel honored, so i showed this clip to her. now she refuses to talk to me LOL
No friend should feel I am OBLIGATED to fulfill his/her WHIMS for free and then be upset with me that I don't. There are things one cannot deny to a friend if it's feasible (shelter, food, helping in any real need that doesn't put extraordinary strain on the doer), but then there are whims, things one can easily live without and those are not subject to these friendship obligations.
OMG I LAUGHED AT THE FIRST FEW AND THIS AS WELL, but then on a serious note:
this is the reality of most young designer's lives. I'm a young designer and I've had 3 clients as such.... I COMPLETELY AGREE that these type of thing happen...this nonsense going on.
Free is my favourite price but it does not put meat on the table.
