I hired Clayton to build an ecommerce website for me. He came recommended by someone whose design aesthetic I admired.
We had lots of what appeared to be great creative discussion, and we executed an agreement for him to build the site for around $3500. He asked for $1600 upfront. After receiving the deposit he had a series of "emergencies": sick family, girlfriend issues, etc, and kept propmising to deliver. Finally, he disappeared with the deposit.
I contacted the owner of the company David Alford and he said that Clayton got fired because he was staling their buiness or something.
This is what happens when you don't get a signed contract in the beginning. They will tear you apart and just keep hanging up on you. I threatened to sue them and they are just like, you don't have any proof.
