Also, it may help to establish a credit relationship with the client so that if payments are deferred or in default, then that will harm their credit. Harsh tactics, but business is business!

I would be interested in the "customer management" thing... can you suggest a resource?

WHY! You ask...Well, we have just started a small biz. And our first website was to be in payments, yes we have gotten the 1st two payments! But it was like pulling teeth, and yes we are still waiting for the final payment...This payment plan has taken a year, and of course the client is always to busy to return your calls..EXCEPT when they would like a change or to add something new.. We also like what you have to say about making websites for family members or so on, so we could add them to our portfolio..love that one...but true.. Keep the info coming Thanks Gio & Mz.J Dream Vizual Dezinez Hello,
