Are you a freelance dev, or are you a freelance designer?

In your discussions with prospective clients, it is often very easy to tell how much importance they put on functionality relative to aesthetic. If you ask them open-endedly what they’re looking for, you’ll get your answer.

It’s definitely OK to be a developer with a specific design ethos, but only for the clients who are either looking for or who are OK with that design ethos. There is no “Silver Bullet”; No one size fits all.
