Are you ready for your clients critique or bad feedback?

Few days ago, I had a meeting with a client that was desperate with one of my products on the web. So I went to see what exactly is the problem and try to calm down the situation.

I was interviewed by Lucas from SpicyWebDesigners.com. He wanted to know how I started designing, how is working on a Mac and what’s the situation with freelancers in Croatia.

So, what can you do? Is that really the authors webpage, and the comment is very honest? Or the comment is only there for no-viagra-similar content, and avoid automatic spam filter?

How to know if the comment is real, and not only a spam comment?
