BTW Very interesting thread.

Okay now down to business.....

The clear issue is a problem of communication, this happens a lot, now i am not a web designer, i am a web developer, so perhaps i am not in the exact same picture.

However it occurs a lot when i am assigned work, and my idea of work disagrees with theirs then its' because i didn't get their complete agreement before going ahead with all the work.

If i were in your shoes, i'd do a staged web design.

After each stage of the preview to finished design, i would ask for that stages approval and payment. And in the contract they would have no legal right to any of the work, unless they went all the way through.

The problem is that so many people are wishy-washy, can't seem to make up their mind.

So you have to force them to, in both a design and legal way.

They can stop before the end of any stage, as long as they paid for the preceding stage.
