Well he's in for a surprise when he gets an invoice for five hours work of trawling through somebody else's code and setting up new pages and adding the new links to all the other pages.
He'll be wishing he had paid £450 for a CMS solution!!!!!

It's arse slapping time as it's known in the trade!!!

That is a pretty useful and funny point. Client is often asking this kind of questions. But it is pretty necessary for us to solve their problems well, it not a big deal then.

Asking for outdated elements such as marquee, animated gifs for pleasure, maybe even crappy testimonials that aren't fully related to the product or site

Assuming comps' content is final - "I can't have that say lorem ipsum"

Asking for more but not wanting to pay more
