Adult design customers are notorious for not knowing what they want. They have pics/videos and a site name. The rest is up to the designer. This is why it pays to go with an experienced designer. If the client wants to pay dirt cheap prices, they better know what the hell they want.

This is exactly what I want when I am the paying customer.... The designer is paid for knowing what works and what doesnt.... and if the designer doesnt understand the niche.. They should be the one asking the questions imho... how does the client know what the designer understands and doesnt?
Bitching about clients not "giving" a designer enough information is very lame sounding imho.... from a customers point of view..
Then again, last time I ordered a tour it was $1500... and I would be expecting to pay at least $800-$1000 before I even went shopping... so maybe that's why I don't think any designer should ever be whining that it's my fault if they dont do a good job.
That said... if a designer takes on a job for $350.... I still think it's their responsibility to get all the information.. and drag a clear definition out of the customer if you feel it's needed.
