       | accounted for 40% of the budget. It was a splashy home page that
       | violated every rule of good page design (scroll jacking, progress
       | bars, heavy animations) and 3 inner page templates that was
       | essentially a set of the same blocks ordered differently (thanks
       | Boostrap!!).

       | I was ultimately surprised how much time actually went into that
       | Webflow project. Like OP mentioned (in the article) clients never
       | make time to participate or give early feedback. Most of the time
       | they don't even know how being actively involved in the process
       | will save them money. Is it the service providers job to educate
       | them?
       | 
       | TLDR; like the article says. Sometimes you just have to ask.
