it makes me sad when a designer gets screwed....

so please, for the love of god... save yourselves a lot of hassle...
unless you're dealing with the cream of the crop in this business... GET YOUR MONEY UP FRONT AND CLEARED BEFORE YOU LIFT A FINGER...

ESPECIALLY on tit jobs from people who haggle over a couple bucks.

that is all.

hehe.... 1k here too. Best bet is to get at least 1/3-1/2 of your estimated (if you work by hour) price, upfront. Then the rest before you fork over the files.

Roald · 01-07-2004, 02:31 AM

Guess I will never get that huh

Lets make a new thread about it right now.

He is the only webmaster who ever fucked me sofar. Lets hope it is the last one.

mammy · 01-07-2004, 03:25 AM

may be it make sence to create black list on some domain name?
everyone as bog can write there his situation with client

so every designer starting work with new client can check the list
and decide whether to work with him or not

I don't design for others usually only for myself. But you wouldn't believe the fucking couple of retarded offers I got from some big name reputable people in this biz. Like one time one person offered to buy a tour from me for half price and if it converted well for a few months they would pay me my full design price. WTF? This isn't walmart there's no money back guarantee, not to mention I don't design for anyone unless it's a favor.

Funny thing is we are talking big name reputable people who said that shit to me. Like I'm fucking retarded when I had already lowered my paysite design price as a favor to like $800. Then tell me you want to pay half and if it converts you'll pay me full price. I said what if it doesn't convert and they didn't have much of an answer.

Awesome isn't it, I know what you are talking about. Because my prices are pretty low people always think I am in need of cash quick. Guess what I am not whoring myself, I just work fast mostly lol.

I had this other design company wanting to hire me for about 1/3 of what I make per month now. When I laughed at their offer they were like oh well I thought you needed the money because of those low prices
