Website horror stories: What is your worst client tale?
"In this post, I wrote about a project that actually started in 2021, was ready in 2022, and that is still not gone live as writing this that is October 2025. Since I started in the area of creating websites, my first one went online in early 1998, I have had my fair share of weird projects."
"For example, I got one website up and running, the end user approved it, but it never went public because the client eventually thought he didn't have the right people to feed it."
"Or in one opportunity, I ended up in the police station because the guy behind the website I had written had gone missing and left clients stranded."
A project that began in 2021 was completed in 2022 but remained unpublished as of October 2025. Web development experience dates back to a first website launched in early 1998. Several projects produced unusual outcomes: one approved site never went public because the client felt they lacked people to maintain it, and another led to a police-station visit after the person responsible for the site disappeared, leaving clients stranded. The narrative emphasizes that web design work can entail logistical, managerial, and legal complications beyond technical development. A request invites accounts of the most memorable client project stories from web-design careers.
