+1 to that (except backwards: when, how much and *then* what technology)

If your client (or S.O.) seems unimpressed with the flash and dazzle

then call you back when they want something that is mature, powerful and 
works.

I tell my wife that graphic designers make websites, and then I make

day she asked why I never hacked *her* any pearls...
