rob,
I appreciate your response.
Although, unfortunately, I believe I have run my course with this project. I have put alot of hours and hard work into this project in good faith, considering the overall price I've quoted you. This project, in any other terms, is worth significantly more, and in most cases I would not undertake this amount of work at such a reduced rate.
The advance is something I would normally ask for at the start of a bigger sized project, I considered this to be an easier, laid back setting to work in, and therefore didn't think it required an advance right away. I have been working with you for about 2 months now. I've logged over 60 hours on this site, from concept, to execution. (Again, I would normally not revise a site this much either, without adjusting the initial quote.)My usual hourly rate of 20 dollars would make this quote about 1200 so far. Which, for what you would be getting, is still a good deal. Flash heavy websites don't go for cheap. They will probably have a base of about 2000 dollars, with 1 revision.
I agree that this would have been a great thing to work on, and I was truly excited on the idea, because it's something that, artistically, I could enjoy creating. But this is what I do for a living. It's like your boss asking you to work a bunch of overtime, for nothing.
I have other projects I need to pursue at this point where the terms have been agreed upon, and downpayment has already been made, so unfortunately, I have to let this one go.
As per my terms, you will notice you no longer have access to http://www.sixsidedocean.com/pos… .
I still thank you for the opportunity to have worked with you on this, and wish you luck with it in the future. Have fun in NY.

oh man. they've screwed me over big time. If you only knew. I could revise the story quick. lots of revisions, unreasonable times, then all of the sudden they want me to start over again.
2 months, no money, no advance etc. lousy cunts.

min $50/hour next time brains, clients have this idea, that they can piss all over "low budget" designers. i know it's an easy way to get them on the hook, but this is the result you will get sometimes.. been there myself
- brains0
yeah no doubt. They've been pissing on me since day one. I won't mention how much I was going to charge them. Then again, I thought it would be a quick in and out.
ah well, live and learn I guess.
