Hi @bingodog
What you are describing is the conflict web developers face with product designers, UI designers, UX designers, marketing, business owners, clients, customers, and others.
Here is some advice I gave you earlier:
You cannot make everyone happy at the same time. Sometimes you’ll need to make compromises. As @ILM suggested this is where feedback and A/B testing can help make meaningful decisions.
But first you need to present a canvas, for example an ironic canvas for “Moschino”. This Italian luxury fashion house was founded in the 1980s and is still around. Let the client take care of strategy, focus on delivering a small window into their world.
Happy coding
