[byronyasgur]

Just curious

 

[mneylon]

Do you mean full payment or partial payment?

Yes full payment

This week would be good for me ... or my relaxed week planned for next week is going to involve chasing down about 10 customers *sighs*

In the past I've just done the work done pay me now ...

I won't be doing this again unless I've a relationship with the client

Get a model and stick to it (no not .. *insert models name here* ) ... a payment model ..

1: 20 - 30 % upfront
2: 20 - 30 % on design completion
3: 20 - 30 % on design implemention
4: 20 - 30 % on sign off

Doing it right you've gotten paid 120% muahah .. but you know what I mean
figure out what works for you ... clients may not be happy but then I'd question the clients

- That'll be my next poll then - how much time do you spend chasing money and do you factor this into typical quotes ???

50% upfront before project started, and remainder when site is completed.

We ask for a deposit before any work is done about 30% or less. We then design and develop the website and provide a working online preview with full payment required before going live on the customers domain. (usually)

It's fair and prevents a lot of chasing payments.

Always 50% up front and the remaining 50% when the site goes live.

Once the site goes live I wait a few days and then send them an invoice.

After a about a week I then start chasing.

No exceptions.

I'd go with Alex on this one too
