I've been in a similar situation. My client was pissed because my portfolio linked two of their shady business dealings. Client called and demanded that I remove all their work from my portfolio. Eventually, I did; but I never got another job from them again.
My thinking is that you're fully entitled to show your work - even if you didn't specifically state so in your contract - as long as you are accurate and honest about what you did.
If they're belligerent in their request, you likely won't ever get work from them again anyways, so trying to placate them will ultimately be fruitless. Offer to take it down for a fee. Since you're going to be without that as a means to advertise yourself and obtain new work, they should compensate you.
They won't pay you, of course. But it's a good response.
- Have you actually ever offered to take something down for a fee? That seems like a potentially deeply problematic route to take..detritus
- i wouldn't suggest fighting with them about this. just clean up your process.shellie
- They didn't even pay us for the last invoice...lol. I'm not going to fight them... but I'm not going to rush to pull it down either.SigDesign
