12,793 PointsBIG Clients
Has anyone here had any big clients and when I say big I mean clients who are worth millions? I know that grabbing a client like this is rare but I am just wondering what those clients might expect, for example what CMS would they expect? Would they expect you to code them a custom CMS or would they expect you to use a foundation like Wordpress and build off it? Obviously businesses of that size need special requirements most of the time. I'd just like to know if anyone has any experience with this as I have been approached by a automotive firm.
Thanks

I've worked for businesses (not related to their web sites) that top line sales revenue of $2 mil USD and another of $15 mil USD and both of them had pretty off the shelf websites.
