I normally only do projects which have a start and end. My approach, which wouldn't work in your young lady's case, is to break the project down into blocks which have deliverables, eg spec, prototype to demo concept, first phase with specified functionality, second phase with additional functionality, user manual, etc. There is a price attached to each block and the next block doesn't get started until the previous block is paid for. No hassle or aggro, just no work <g>.
I have also used the discount approach, I found the late payment loading never worked. John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 > Has anyone instituted late fees in their billing?
