How do you work with clients? I often feel revisions heavily degrade design. where is the balance between understanding client needs and my integrity as a designer?

I am finding I have a lot of (web design) projects I don't care to show anybody after they are finished. I usually get halfway through a project and everything starts to look slick and beautiful, and then when I send the website to a client for them to review, a lot of strings start to snap. Bigger logo, bigger fonts, less quality pictures, a ton of additions. I don't know if I am being a entitled brat or not but I feel quite a bit of frustration. I want to create work that both me and the client are proud of, but I have not been getting that recently. Usually I finish a project and end with "Well at least I got paid." Feeling like the client had me on a leash for the entire second half of the project. I am just looking for some advice or insight. Thanks guys, love this sub.

Great design resource
