clientsfromhell:

I was asked to create a CMS for a client after having worked on the backend platform of their site. They weren’t quite sure what they wanted, so I decided to use Wordpress to give them some flexibility down the road.

Instead of USING the CMS, though,  people with zero experience designing web pages have been editing pages and adding new ones by just copy/pasting my work.

Client: Why does this page look like this? Why aren’t those images the same size?

Me: I don’t know who put those there and I didn’t create that other page, but I could fix it and make it look nice.

Client: It shouldn’t have to be fixed, I pay you to make my website.

Me: Yes, but you don’t pay me to moderate your employees’ page edits.
