    As a designer, 1/3 tends to be a better rule, since you are usually undertaking about a third of the work upfront (design exploration), 3 bills at the three major intervals (design, development, delivery) works out nicely.

    Developers should ask for 50% upfront, since you have 2 major elements to your responsibilities (development, delivery).

    I'd ask for at least 50% though if you are doing anything under $3,000.

    • I think this sounds like a good rule of thumb.nocomply
