A couple of weeks ago I received a request from a client to create 50 static headers for Worpdress. He offered to pay $5 USD per header for a total of $250 USD which I gladly accepted. The headers were 935 pixels by 150 pixels in length and width but I also created 800 pixels by 100 pixels version for each one. I based the design of each banner from a list of 50 domain names which the client sent. Obviously, the banners will be used on the domains listed.

I usually ask for a 50% downpayment before working on a job but for this one payment was sent after. Getting paid after doing the work is risky since the client can suddenly disappear or, for some reason, choose not to pay and cancel the job. It has happened to me a lot of times in the past too. Anyway, I fully trust this client that is why I agreed to get paid after. (more…)
