Lol, I was expressing my frustration with clients and their seeming lack of knowledge when it comes to the internet. Mind you not all clients are like that, I've had some great ones in fact, but sometimes, I just facepalm myself... Anyone else had clients like those? I guess its all about patience...

Our client in Thunderstorm Development was like that, "hey, I have a friend coming over in a few hours, can you finish the entire website?" Since then, if I have a client I don't like, I drop them. Thankfully I have enough demand and subcontract a decent amount of work. The only thing that is annoying that I have to put up with is initial deployment and initial story boarding.

No, I meant like a contract for you to use with stupid clients. xD Sorry for the confusion. I should've worded that better.
Although, I will be re-doing the company's website soon.. and I don't feel like doing design for it - so maybe I can get you in on that too.

guys, if your clients had the same internet know-how you have, they wouldn't be your clients and you would be redundant.

I've worked for several other developers for the same reason I hire other developers. Sometimes there are things that are beneath me or I don't have the time to do. 90% of my clients actually know how to program and 50% have made contributions to their own project.
