    My wife is a creative. It’s insane how many people are totally comfortable with stiffing designers

    Because it's not "real" work. You gotta get paid up front and put a limit on changes. You're either good, or you're not. Let the market sort it out, but don't work for free.

    The best thing you can do is bill by the hour, give a quote and get half of your quote up front. It works for pretty much anywhere customers suddenly disappear after the job is started.
