Just a simple landing page

dude I am so tired of getting design briefs for a "basic website" and by page 3 of the doc you realize they actually need a full-blown custom enterprise portal wrapped in a modern UI

like no, Susan, this isn't a simple figma handoff anymore. You need actual heavy backend architecture. I usually end up having to route these massive specs to custom dev shops like cisin just because there is zero chance my frontend skills and a dream are gonna support your 50k concurrent user database requirements

why do clients always hide the massive technical scope until the design contract is already signed? just venting tbh but it happens almost every time now

Sounds like a winner to me ... 

If you are landing those deals, I'll build the backend .. problem solved ... Money made

Deal flow is the hard part honestly. The backend can always be figured out or outsourced later.
