You're absolutely right - I think clients do find it difficult to admit they might be struggling to come up with the content, especially when it's about their own business. It's harder than it looks. Hi Judy

Thanks for your comments. You’re absolutely right – I think clients do find it difficult to admit they might be struggling to come up with the content, especially when it’s about their own business. It’s harder than it looks.

Then when they sit down to do it they realise that simply isn't true. Even copywriters find their own websites the hardest to write. But now the client is faced with admitting to themselves and the designer that they can't do this apparently very easy thing, so they'll struggle on until they come up with some kind of text, or rope in a family friend who is 'good at English'. Meanwhile of course, they've lost hours of time that they could have used to add value to their businesses in other ways. The site has been delayed for weeks and is nowhere near as effective as it could have been.
