Generally I work this way:
* Fixed price for large projects / full sites.
* Hourly rate for fire-fighting and fixing problems.
* Day rate for contract work.With sizable projects I aim for payment of 40% at start, 40% at an agreed major milestone 20% at completion. ( ... the smaller % at the end avoids the situation where you're waiting for content before you can be paid).
To avoid creep on deliverables - I try to draw up a decent set of specifications which detail what will be supplied, although inevitably there'll be a bit of give and take.
