    Great, now I have an image in my head of Seraph walking into an S&M club and asking "Can you demand that I create a large number of custom-designed websites for a ridiculously low price?"
    So glad I'd put my drink down before I read this.

      The S & M club reference. . . hilarious and mildly disturbing lol. Glad you got paid in a somewhat, sort of, maybe timely fashion.

        1/2 Down, balance due after final review/approval, before site is uploaded/launched/made live.

            Also, happy news, he paid up today. I'm glad he didn't drag it out TOO long, lol....but now he's asking if I'm up for more work.

            Add on a chunk to the new quote - when he asks, tell him "boat fees don't pay themselves. You know."

              I actually already do this except for a select few clients who have to fit a certain criteria:

              They have to have paid consistently for over a year, I have to actually know them, and I have to know a way to get my money should they ever try and screw me over.

              He may be a grumpy client, but he's met all of the above criteria, so he doesn't always have to pay half upfront, but he does occasionally.

              I just can't imagine what his partners would do if I posted about him not paying. Since the big thing in that industry is flaunting what wealth you've got, finding out he wouldn't/couldn't pay an invoice would torch his reputation.

                I'd replace the images on the site with pictures of the boat....

                  Well, Seraph probably could DO that...the site doesn't actually belong to the customer until it's paid off...
