 I will generally put the link there by default but I have no problem removing it if the clients asks me to. It's good publicity and the linkback doesn't hurt I'm sure. If a client updates a site and makes a dog's dinner of it, I'll usually ask (nicely of course) for my link to be removed... or I'll do it myself if I have access to the site. I don't think it's unprofessional to do so at all - as long as the link is subtle.         |

| I normally put in a link, and will sometimes link back from our portfolio page too. Re somebody changing the site to say they designed it, that seems wrong. My policy is that the design is owned by the client once the site is handed over and paid for. I would have a problem with them stating that they designed it though.

| Depends on the nature of the work, design I don't have a problem with it, seo'd by I wouldn't bother. |

| Thanks Ken, Spiralli and Mickey, Seems like it's pretty much the norm, then. I think in future I'll just mention to the client at the start of the project that I would like to include a very small link in the footer of the page and take it from there. thanks again everyone for your replies.

| I usually ask the client just as the site goes live. Nobody has ever said 'no'. Sometimes clients will offer if I haven't mentioned it first, but I wouldn't suggest doing it without asking first.
