Actually, lucky, it's not that simple. Both sides made mistakes, he delayed the project, she also delayed it with multiple changes. I don't have enough info to say who is more at fault. I also don't know what the budget was, but it sounds like her expectations were slightly of line. And there were apparently no timelines in the contract and she agreed to the terms. We should be able to expect things to happen in a timely manner, but if you're working with a freelancer you cant always assume their schedule is open and in line with yours. If you want that level of service you should go to an agency/larger shop. But then she'd be paying much higher prices. We just need to work harder at communicating during the course of the project.
I don't think it's fair to say he should just give in and walk away. The project sounds like it's more than 75% complete. Unless there's a lot more to the story it sounds like she's being a little unreasonable.
- Good point. I just sensed that WTF is accepting partial responsibility for the project going bad...luckyorphan
- ...therefore, by that admission, he shouldn't get full pay. From there, it's all about haggling the percentage.luckyorphan
- Unless I misunderstood the deposit is not the full amount of the project price.Josev
