A client wanted it this way and I'm just supplying it to them.

Then it's your job to explain to them why that is user-hostile, and will cause some people like me to get the wrong impression of them, and probably not purchase their goods or services.

Seriously, you're the expert here. Why are you taking non-expert advise on something for which you're the expert? That's ineffective and counterproductive, to you, them, and to the world at large.
