so i was asked by these guys to come up with a simple site for them on the cheap. i came up with this design which they liked but then all of a sudden pulled the lug on the project stating that they found something cheaper. here is what they have now instead of what i was making them.

they should pay you first ALWAYS have them pay the half first half later that way they wont run and if they do they lose out..

yours IS better man..
they used dirty ego as a typeface man..thats like font every kid uses for their first bandflyer...they should aave stick to yours...

yours is way better
I've worked on two band sites that this happened to. Well, not exactly, but both found a 'fan' to make some crap (a billion times worse than what these guys have) for free.
Can't argue with free.

bummer dude. You've created a clean, css future-proof site that loads in a snip and theirs is clunky and table ridden that looks like it's straight outta 1998. bummer. that's all I have to say on the matter cos I'm tired

yeah, cant agree more on having them pay half before you even start.
your site is way better

Oh and in regards to your query, I would go and get my payola. If they owe you just keep bugging them for it. Get what's yours.

i also put something my contract that states, "client is responsible for design hrs whether the design is used or not"
that is IF you had them sign something beforehand. otherwise, you are screwed. but when they come back to ask you to do your magic, i would DEFINITELy charge them more. maybe 3x? ha
