The expertise offered here is "how to build a website". If the client is insisting that the dev use a specific javascript library, that would be odd.
The client here is just requesting specific content on their website, similar to someone requesting a granite countertop in their kitchen; that seems fine, even if its not particularly classy or aesthetically pleasing to the contractor.
- oneeyedpigeon 10mo agoDo we know that for a fact? You described them as a "web development consultant", but I couldn't tell for certain what their exact role on this project was. Their services page (https://www.nicchan.me/services/ https://www.nicchan.me/services/) lists both "Web Application front-ends" and "translate your designs into a scalable system", so I think they offer a range.
- Rebuff5007 10mo agoBoth of those sound like expertise in building a website, and not like expertise in business strategy. To be clear, I would personally have a similar view to the author here. I'm just surprised that they think their opinion on the strategy side matters so much to their client!

- pmx 10mo agoIt's more similar to someone asking for a cardboard countertop - any contractor would be well within their rights to tell them it's a bad idea and would be negligent if they didn't.
- knollimar 10mo agoIt's more a matter of not the right use. Cardboard is inherently shitty. I'd say L shaped island in a tiny kitchen. It just needs a bigger kitchen
