So after the client signs off on some work, I am half way through the production process when the client comes back and says 'we are going to change up majority of the navigation as well as content'.
WTF is the point of client sign off if they do shit like this?!

so you can charge them major change fees.

yeah i will definitly charge more!! but i hate when they come back with 'oh, we will have to change everything' when you think you are near closing of a project.

yeah your only recourse is more fees. don't let it sap your spirit!

say in printing they use the 5/50/500 rule. $5 for each correction in the first draft, $50/ the next, and so on.

They are clients, they dont give a shit. A lesson we must all learn sadly.

When I did design in-house at a printer, we've had things in finishing only to have clients call in and say they take back their approval as their boss just saw it (for the first time) and wants to make changes. And our fucking people-pleaser manager wouldn't charge them anything for the next rounds of changes and reprinting it again. Our clients learned they could get away with this type of behavior and so it happened all the time. Now I wonder if they're still in business?
- Printers do this because they usually end up making a profit in the end regardless.NONEIS
