How do you deal with clients with bad taste?

Unfortunately I had to do this to one of my BIGGEST clients. I did the original site design, which was super sexy. Then little by little he kept wanting changes. I couldn't say no. I even tried twisting what he said so it would come out looking good. Now I just say f*** it I'm getting paid to do what he wants and it's exactly as he describes so he's happy.

Yeah, no reason to turn down projects either. If someone is paying you for something, it should be what and how they like it. Maybe to them it isn't crap, and maybe they are looking for a certain style that isn't exactly your own.
