I wholeheartedly agree with Pablo. Create an estimate based on an hourly rate; let them know it's an estimate and that if you go over the estimated hours, you'll bill them for the additonal hours at the hourly rate.
Get 1/3 or 1/2 of your estimate up front. If they can't do that, skip it, unless you know them VERY well and are sure they'll pay up. Be very up front and honest about how many hours you're putting in on their project, and keep them abreast of the progress and how many hours you've logged. This creates a feeling of good will so you'll be more likely to get paid in a timely fashion. -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
