Never Delete Anything Completely; Clients Are Fickle

I’m designing a website for a client.

Client: “You have the wrong image for this product on the website.”

Me: “Sorry. That is the image you gave me, though. Do you have another one you’d like to use instead?”

Client: “Yes, this one.”

Me: “That looks like it’s using CMYK colors — see how it’s all fluorescent? Do you happen to have an RBG version for the web?”

Client: “This is the one we want.”

Me: “Okay, if you’re sure.”

A few weeks later…

Client: “It looks like you have a CMYK image on this product. Here’s the RGB one. Can you please update it for us?”

They send over the same image I had on the site in the first place.

Me: “Sure.”

The best part is that I’d anticipated this possibility and hadn’t deleted the old photo from the website. I just restored it.
