Yup, totally.
I think the worst ones are those who won't tell me the idea incase I steal it. I normally just say "Ok, then, never mind" and they act disgruntled when I don't insist they tell me. Or if I say "Draw up an NDA then", then they say they can't afford the solicitor's fees.

I don't get how someone can geninunly believe they've got an idea that'll make them rich beyond millions, but won't even put £100 in a solicitor's pocket to protect this idea. Yet normally they'd still buy loto tickets.

I'll send you one of my NDAs
just change the names of the parties. They won't even need £100 then.

That makes sense.
I may be a bit naive here but in terms of a NDA, what's the difference between a solicitor drawn up one and just a piece of paper signed by both people saying "I won't disclose information I was told on X date by X person"

About £100

tangles has it right on the head, here.
/specifically, you probably need it to say certain things about foreground and background knowledge really, but I've signed one before with a Norwegian company that is only 3 lines long and says "I won't tell if you don't" or words to that effect. So that will do.

I don't know a lot about web design,
but i'm guessing if you want to have someone make you a website, you sort of need to tell them what the website is for?

Yup, its pretty key.
And a proper website, at the sort of level I'm at, requires a whole team, it needs all of the following, which are full time careers in their own.... the first one in each line is the main job, and the ones next to them are sub jobs of them that sometimes are taken care of the main person.

- Designer / Front End Developer / UI Expert / UX Expert
- Back End Developer / Database Engineer / Server Achectect
- Copy Writer / Content Editor / SEO Specalist / Social Media Specalist.
- Project Manager / Client Manager.

Plus once you've got a site, you kindda gotta keep it running.

The most disheartening thing about my job is when I do something stunningly amazing and the client won't put content in 'cus they can't be fucked/are too busy.

although,
i've heard, if you punch the monitor hard enough when you're looking at a website, the person who owns the domain name falls out of their chair.
