In reality, it's my boss that's paying me to design and this is one of those projects where the development cost will be higher than whatever the client pays. Our views of the project are so far apart that I feel I have no choice but to disregard whatever they have to say. I think losing a client from the get go is cheaper than building a website that will end up a miserable failure.
