I feel good, but at the same time discouraged that this didn’t work out. I was hired by this individual to make a clothing, and t-shirt community/website that was an interactive clothing gallery, etc …

A place where you could make the shirts, view the shirts, and than purchase them.

It’s been a little over a month since we started communicating with eachother planning etc …

My policy is half up front(before any work begins) and half on completion of site. Well—I already investing over 30 billable hours of planning, photography and designing the mock-site and haven’t seen my half up front.

Weekend after weekend he tells me he will get his financial situation under control. But it burns me that I already invested 30 hours of my time. Secondly—this individual hadn’t paid me yet, but he continued to give me strict deadlines, and instructions etc … understandablly I will deliver and be responsive to any client—however money talks—no doe = no work.

Told him this morning “good luck” with his project, but I’m done.

☹ sucks …
