As an end user of Webdesigners..ie a client, I deal in trust and relationships as well as the money. I did quite a few jobs with various designers usually with 25% in advance and got varying degrees of satisfaction. I usally found them through freelance bidding sites, Thes can help the anyone new to contracting webdesigners as you can use an Escrow service to keep the money on hold as it were until both parties are happy.

I found one I eventually could do business with, which meant they were professional in their approach and I have stuck with them.
