I have a few designers I always use. I used to do the 50% upfront deal in the beginning. Now i've found that once a designer trusts you they will take your job and million others at once and stick you waiting in line for your turn. I don't like being stuck in line and waiting for weeks to have the job finsihed

So now I refuse to pay till the job is done...this way if he feels like taking his time getting to my project I can just cancel on him (with proper notice) and use my next designer.

I have found that all single personal web designers are complete utter flakes regardless of how good there work is.

I need to look into the various design companies out there and see if they offer a better solution.

Do any of you design companies have enough people on staff where I can hit u up for a few quick banners anytime and have them done in 24 hours or less? More offten than not I'm in need for small quicky projects that the lone designers take care of super fast WHEN they don't have other jobs in line.... Would be nice to be able to use a design company that always has someone available to do a job, even quicky small ones.
