title: Client wants extremely badly designed website
body: <p>how would you handle a client who wants you to implement a website layout that looks horrible and is wrong in many many ways, when they absolutely think it is great, really "different" and cool and since you are a programmer, you don't know anything about design.</p>
  
  <p>i have tried arguing, reasoning and not caring, but it pains me physically to think that i should put <em>that</em> online... any tips or experiences would be great! thanks.</p>
  
  <p>update: things are even a bit more complicated, since it is not just any client but a business partner with a great business idea, that i want to be part of...</p>
