Especially if you randomize the fade within a given range over time.
For added theatrics, after they pay you can slowly fade the site back in over a few days too, as if websites need bill money the same way humans need food, and it is slowly getting better after "being starved"
I like the way you think.
Make the fade only apply 25% (or maybe a percentage range) of the time at first, slowly increase how often and how intense the opacity is. lol
Or, make it fade more and more for each "unique" visitor. Make sure it hits after they start their marketing campaign.
Make it fade out after 5pm friday and fade back in on monday at 9am.
Charge them extra for working outside of business hours
