I empathise by way of my youngest daughter, who was in and out of mainstream site design faster than you can blink. She cut her teeth on adult sites, which I still think is the best way to learn, so she was solid on loading time, navigation...you know, all that sort of good stuff we know and they don't.
She got tired of screaming those things. She got tired of "oh, and yes, I remembered one more thing I want the site to do." She got tired of "I changed my mind." She got tired of doing the "amount quoted divided by the hours put into this frigging thing" and coming up with an amount in cents.
I got tired of watching her in pain.
She got a real life job and designs sites for fun and tosses 'em up on her shareware site when she feels like it.
And designs graphics for Mom, of course.
