10 Impractical Website Requests You Should Know

You’re sitting in the cafe sipping your latte when opposite you, your potential client says, “Hey, I was thinking why not we put a fast paced animated introduction on my website with an upbeat techno type music?” By the time you had heard the part of the techno type music, you would have either burnt your tongue or choked on steaming latte in your throat.

Probably choking on coffee is a little extreme but if you’re a web designer, marketing manager or web developer who practices web standards then the above is just one of the impractical requests clients today are still requesting.

Things become even worse when clients persist to have it their way. And little do they know, the customer is not always right in this age because there are outside influences like egos and personal preferences. Therefore, besides the impractical Flash tunnel request I’ve come across these other requests:

1. Could you only make the content area scroll?
2. I think the green text is alright with a blue background. So let’s change it.
3. Could you add an interactive map beside the list of branch offices?
4. I heard AJAX can load content fast. I want to use it in my website.
5. I want my website to be #1 on Google tomorrow when I search; ‘Coffee’.
6. I want this header to be red, the other header to be blue and the next one to be purple.
7. I want this panel to be transparent.
8. I want an animated navigation like (website) because I like it and it is really cool.
9. I want my visitors to fill up ALL the fields before they are able to send this form.
10. I want my website to do this, this, this, this, this and that..but I only have $$$ budget.
