Re: Customers

Since we are usually hosting the site as well as building it, I will let the
site go live.  If I don't have a check within the specified period of time,
I remind the client it will need to go offline since I am unable to pay the
hosting bill.

I've been stiffed once in 4 years, and I got a fractional payment from the
one exception.  I have, however, had late payers.  Two common reasons are "I
forgot" and "The committee is moving slowly"...perhaps true, perhaps not,
but the money has almost always showed up and I've never needed to use more
than light pressure to get it.

Okay, next question:

When do you normally let a website go live, before or after you received the
remaining payment?  I have considered letting the site go live, password
protected until the customer has paid up.  What is the consensus on this?  I
am hesitant of uploading this guy's website to his web host until he has
paid his bill but wondering if this does any good?

Thanks!
Brandon
