    I think it's clear to do this one needs to start with a very upfront and well thought out plan for a kick off meeting. Get your 50% upfront describe you don't work without pay. Be upfront. Figure out the plan, give an estimate, get a deposit and get started. And no work speculative prior to deposit. What can happen and happened to me in this case that a client says I want to do X gives a deposit for X and changes the scope to much larger and then hesitates on wanting give the 50% upfront as a security deposit = cheapskates not backing the project financially unstable blah blah.

    • yep. if the project changes scope of what you originally agreed to. start it all over.sintaxera
    • the estimate/deposit, that is. at least get more to add to the initial deposit so it adds up.sintaxera
