Hi,
good points mentioned by everyone here.
at webinc our policy is no one ever pays upfront, they usually pay when the project is completed or almost done.
We have only been burnt 1 time in all these years and that was by an asshole who we found out later was a total scam.
Most customers think it's pretty cool that they get to see the finished product before they pay. Of course you guys know me, I am a hard ass when it comes to payment. When the project is done and approved, I expect payment ASAP. You eat dinner out, you pay for it.
I am been known on occasion like 3 times to have to come to the boards and be an asshole. I don't like being a bill collector, told that 2 one client today, but it's my job..
Hats off to Blue Design, Mark, and Amp, good people, good work
peace
Todd
