I even made a full hard coded page so you could launch the site while we were working on the CMS thing. 1 month and a half later, after showing you the problem was in the CMS by showing you their default skin NOT WORKING, you left me high and dry. I mean, instead of telling that CMS: "hey, your DEFAULT page isn't working, fix it or give me my money back" you chose to cancel me.
So, the way I see it, you owe me $750 and I left it at that, business gone bad and that's it. I know you're a decent and honest person, so tell me if anything of what I'm saying isn't 100% true.
Anyway, I won't start a bitching contest now, I expected some drama but never imagine it would come from you.

Harvey, I paid the deposit since you said you could do the work. If you had delivered the project you would have received the other $750. You had all of the contact info for the CMS people. It was the responsibility of you and them to work it out since you are the technical people.
Nonetheless, I intervened several times and tried to facilitate getting answers to the issues you kept saying were preventing you from doing the work.
I had five other sites which you would have received the additional design work and pay for if you could have successfully completed the first project, but I never saw more than one page from you that was 100% operational, and that was not even integrated into the CMS.
I know you have skills, and you seem like a decent enough guy (that's why I hired you in the first place), but I told you from the beginning that communicating with me was key and I expected results.
You said you would get the work done in less than a month, and after two months you had made very little progress. Also, for weeks at a time you failed to communicate with me.
So, after two months, I felt that I had to cut my losses at that point and seek out a different designer.
The bottom line is I lost $750 with you, plus CMS lease money, and hosting costs.
Unfortunately, that's how business goes sometimes.
Well, good luck making your big score with your secret plan!
