Re: Compensation based on Percentage of total Internet sales.

Ivan:

I am assuming that you drafted contracts for designers, rather than being
involved in the site design yourself.

Do you have any information from the designers as to whether they got paid
what they expected? Did they have any difficulty verifying sales figures
from these clients? And would they do it again?
