question?
I'n not a web designer (I do mainly after effects), but I slaved away on this websitefor a "so called " friend. The only thing I asked for in return was for him to take some head shots of another one of my good friends. 4 months later and the photographer still can't take an hour to return the favor! I spent at least 30 hours working on his project. So today I invoiced him $5000.00. If he doesn't pay up within a month what should I do? Take the site down? take him to court? It's come down to a matter of principle. I don't need the money. What should I do? He's very talented but that doesn't mean he should treat others like crap.

Take him down? get him on all fours? It's come down to a matter of principle. I don't need the money, but I would like to make him sweat. What should I do? He's very talented but that doesn't mean he should treat others like crap.

hold his site hostage.

just delete it all and forget you know him
and if you don't need the money, if you collect, give it to charity

just bill him. he's obviously got the money. if he doesn't pay, put a lean on his car or something like that. much more effective than hiring and a lawyer and cheaper.

Thanks for the responses...
I forgot to mention I gave him, his first light meter and showed him how to use photoshop. Up until tuesday he'd still call with long drawn out questions. And me, being the sucker I am, would stop what I was doing to help him.
ARRGGGG

"Sorry, but I have been a lousy cheap shithead that haven't payed the designer that made my site. That's why you see this message. Come back when I have been to the bank and transfered the 5K i owe him"
