A website is like a child #Webdesign

At the start, you want to watch it at all times. How is it progressing? Every change is thrilling and you want to encourage it to bigger and greater things. Eventually, you cannot keep up the hectic pace and you are not hovering over this being 24/7, and that is OK. If you built/taught it well, it will continue on the right path. You can check in from time to time, make adjustments when necessary, and know that a little space/freedom is good for both of you. Obviously, this metaphor breaks down under careful analysis but it still is interesting - I think.
