So if you charge me 150% upfront do I get a little extra on the "back end"?

If a client isn't happy I will do my best to make them happy .Originally posted by NysusJust curious what your policy is on clients that aren't happy with the results? Do you just base things on time you've spent on things?
Matt
I offer changes free of charge but I can only do so much .
There are times where some people just arent happy .
Lets take a recent example :
Guy emails for a toon character of himself ,
I quote $259 for the toon and header etc .
I get details after this payment and there is another character in the description , but I'm a nice guy so I figuire fuck it I'll do it for him anyway .
Show client and he doesnt like it totally , does but sorta needs some changes , So I change it a few times and the client still doesnt like it ,
At this point I turn around and pay my guest toonist Scott to do the toon ,
I pay him $180 and he does Not one , but two versions of the toon and the client still wasnt happy and wants a refund
Now this is where I have done my own 5-6 hours work originally , plus revisions THEN I paid $180 to get a toon done by Scott and the guy isnt happy .
So I've clearly earned my money . Even lost some in that case all in an attempt to please the unpleasable.Comment

good policy, but like someone else pointed out. There have been a few occasions where Ive paid and never heard from the designer after that....
its a 2 way street, youve got a great reputation in the biz, I wouldnt mind 1 bit paying upfront, Ive always offered to do so.

I ausually have a pay now, then I work policy. I don;t care who it is. however, I have seen myself do some work for people and get paid once finished. The only people I let that happen with are people that I know would be easy to ruin their biz overnight. Of course, if it's just some joe blow newbie, ruining him is easy, but would he care? He can start over with a new name easily enough. He would be made ot pay in full upront.Comment

Does this have anything to do with not being able to get a hold of Lens being the straw that broke the camel's back?Comment

I do programming on a contract basis, and let me tell you, the mainstream customers are slow pay too. I have a few good ones that understand I'm no big corporation who can float them for 90 days.
Otherwise, if I'm not paid, I'll have my wife call as my "office manager" and "encourage" them to pay when she's got her PMS.
Works every fuckin' time like a dream. Never lost a customer either, 'cause I do good work and it's not me calling them up like Tony Soprano the way the wife on PMS does. Good cop - Bad cop. My customers love me.

I would NEVER do any work for an adult webmaster without payment up front. That's just the way it is in this industry.Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote: "Every man has reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone but only his friends. He has other matters in his mind which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself, and that in secret. But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind."

The client I am referring to is mainstream, small privately owned local manufacturing company.
They make a great product and stand to make a lot once online, but they can't seem to get their shit together...so the site sits on my dev server.Comment

As a previous designer years ago, I fully support you. I did this my 2nd year into design, continued for 4 years after. If you have the portfolio to back it up, people don't mind. Escrow is also the best way to do that, usually.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment
