Off, Off Topic Help Needed!

Question

I am trying to find out if anyone has had this problem and
how they delt with it. A non profit asked me to redo their website
and I transfered it from GoLive to Dreamweaver. I have been
redesigning the website to look more professional. The main problem
I am having is the client is sending me amateur flyers and pdf's
riddled with run on sentences and poor grammer to post on the web
site. The graphics are terrible and need a lot of Photoshop help. I
cringe at the thought of posting anything like this to the website
I am working on. I have asked them just to send me the copy with an
idea of what they want but it seems to fall on deaf ears. I would
be very grateful for any thoughts or ideas on this? I try to get
along with all my clients but have never run into this problem!
Should I just post the work no matter how bad it is?

Answer 1

I hope the non-profit is not RIF (reading is fundemental).
One thing to keep in mind is that every site you do is a
billboard to the
world of your work, so if you post some bad work that you
could have fixed,
it is very possible, even likely that someone will see it and
assume the bad
all lies with you and it could cost you future work. (Yikes,
I just
noticed...that was a run on sentence).
You dont mention if you are getting paid, but if so, create
the quality work
and add it to the bill.
