Upgrade to ASP site issues

[cleanair4me46]

I have a ASP web application working with SQL Server. It has around 500 records and it works great. Now the customer wants to meet me about a redesign on the page.

In the past I noticed what a customer advises as a redesign can sometimes be more involved and effect the data structure where I would have to add fields, tables etc to the database. But they would not understand the impact because they dont understand databases and that I have to make their current database records work with their new requirement. I am looking for advise on what to say to the customer about the impact to their current database. If they add requirements it will probably require me to change the database model. Any user friendly words I can tell them or experiences anyone has had with this in the past?

Looks like a question for forum84 as its not technical, nor anything to do with ASP

i agree probably for a different forum but in the mindset of hakim's razor : you want to change things, it may change many other things.

or more simply.. butterfly effect.
