Minor Changes
Everything is cool in the beginning.
The client communicates their needs. You set expectations. Enthusiasm and excitement all round.

The Client shows you their current website

You both laugh (hahaha) at how terrible it is.
You re-design the website.
It looks nice and works well. This is the high point of the design

Just a few "Minor" changes.

Minor changes start to add up.
soon they become not-so-minor

The Client gets others involved.
"Looks great, but i want to get feedback from my friend, co-workers, uncle, pet hamster, etc and etc."

All hope is lost.
You begin to fantasize about other careers, like someone who digs ditches for a living or gives sponge baths to the elderly.

You are no longer a web designer
You are now a mouse cursor insider a graphics program which the client can control by speaking, emailing, and instant messaging.

An Abomination is born.
The client has completely forgetten that they hired you, the web designer, to build then a great product. If you were an Engineer designing the turbine of commercial airplane, would they interface then, I wonder?
