I understand when a client is a small business owner and they want the design to reflect their personality. When you own a small business, you are a major part of the brand and so it makes sense that you would want a website that represents you and your style. However, you get a lot of clients who want you to make UI decisions based on their own preferences. I had one client who wanted some annoying UI features. I pushed back, but he insisted. Then when the users started complaining, his response was to explain to them that they were wrong about their UI preferences! You also get clients who expect the site to only work in the browser they use, or with the add-ons they use, which drives me up the wall. Yes, Client Centered Design!

Whilst working as a developer for creative agency's i had people to deal with clients and pre-arrange all the financial details. Thanks for posting.
