Default The Story of the Cowboy

A very sad tale, which I'm sure we have all shared and why it is so important to get signed contracts and deposits before starting any work:

wow. Nicely done... but still unfortunate. And yep - we've all been there! But I never had the balls to do this!

I love the "design by" signature in the footer. Staged payments and contracts - only way to go. Glad to see they had the balls to do this. I only took down 1 site in my time due to non payment and it was paid within a few days.

Very unfortunate, sorry to hear it.

This reminds me that I really must get a contract in order for future jobs!

Very Nicley done! Maybe we should start a gallery of websites like stubbs gazettes to highlight clients who default on payments. Also look into late payments law from Ireland. I think you can charge the ecb rate plus 7% a year, if this cowboy ever comes back to town!

Contracts and a deposit/staged payments are the only way to go.
