Initially, I spent an entire day on IM talking over price, hours, the details of the job(s). That was the warning sign, which I realized, but took the chance anyhow. So, we finally agreed on a 2 simple sites in 2 weeks. I finished the first one after 4 solid days (I usually don't like working this fast, but I still wanted to make something nice enough for the portfolio, you know). Anyhow, everyday I'd see him on IM and ask him if his client had seen the initial draft of the site. Lots of excuses, we were losing time. So, I said, let's start the next project. He says, nah, I would like you to make a different page, I have a new client. Then, it just went wrong... From the beginning, it was obvious he didn't have much experience or know-how in relation to project managing sites, etc, so I had to drag EVERYTHING out of him, which was in effect "teaching" someone the ins and outs via a little chat window. (isn't this story boring as hell?) We had like 3 days left in our original plan of 2 weeks, I finally broke down and told him exactly what I thought (in a polite way). "Where are the changes, if any , on the first site? Where are the assets for the second site? Are we still doing this? Etc." He gave no response. More than a week is passed, I haven't seen him on IM and he hasn't t contacted me. So, I just got screwed.
