MODERATORS
The quote made me optimistic. It's a shame that clients followed their own observation about straight-to-the-point websites loading fast and being easy to read, with a degrading remark about the simplicity of such websites. I realize that the point of a web developer job has always been something different than making good websites (as a whole, it's closer to first making something nice and then trashing it with your own hands), but that's a dreadful realization.
Yeah that's why I couldn't stay in design work. Too many times the client wants you to take your balanced, appealing attempt to express their vision and turn it into clipart.
