Ask YC: Giving Clients a Premade Template

I feel pretty strongly about this: it's wrong.

However I just nabbed a client who wants a two day turn around on a pretty detailed site (blog, forum, mailing list). Sure it's possible to make something in two days, but it's not going to be functional, of quality and worth producing.

Matt here in the office kind of jokingly said "just give them a template". At first we kind of made jokes about it but this is the only way it's going to get done. Without going over budget, producing a site and configuring it for their business just wont happen in two days.

How do you feel about giving clients premade work?
