[consulting] DrupalCOM: european Small Business distro

[Laura Scott]

Well, stepping back for a moment, I guess as a "consultant" I would 
strongly advise that any client not opt to avoid or categorically reject 
site features simply because they don't fit into his/her pre-existing 
mindset about what a website does. I consider part of my job as 
including educating the client on what's available and what's possible.

Imagine an auto dealer decades ago removing electric starters from their 
cars because their customers had pre-existing notions that they should 
hand-crank the engine.

So while the "level 3" site mentioned before may fit for a minority 
amount of small business clients, I believe that level 4 is the way to 
go. And if they aren't up to it, then I would simply restrict their 
capabilities by permissions (as much as possible, and maybe this is 
where further development could happen). (If they're that non-technical, 
then I'd probably be managing the site admin anyway.)

I don't mean to be contrarian here. That's just my own business 
philosophy. I don't turn away a client ready to buy, but I don't want to 
disable features just to lower the site to his/her expectations.

Best,
Laura
