How to approach overdue invoices with a client?

I've recently finished a website for a large law firm, and agreed with them an initial deposit of 50%, with the remaining 50% being paid in 5 monthly instalments.

The first of those five invoices became overdue today, and I know they're going to be unresponsive.

However, they requested about a month ago that I schedule to remove a member of staff from their staff page.

How can I hold this change 'hostage' and approach the overdue invoice issue without pissing them off and potentially losing the rest of the payments?

Cheers!

How do I handle an angry client in an underestimated project?

Hi /r/web_design !

I'm working for a small web start-up and when we started the company few months ago, we accepted a project which consisted of developing an app. It was an interesting project with deadlines that we thought we could handle. The first steps of the project went well and we reached each deadline on time. But now, we are at the end of the project and we realise how much we underestimated the scope of the project. For your information, our contract doesn't stipulate any fixed deadline, just time estimation per development steps and a fixed project price.

We are already 2 weeks over the final estimated deadline and to be honest, there is still a lot left to do. We were expecting to have a beta ready several times in these 2 weeks but each time, we underestimated the amount of work left. It brings us to today: we have worked almost triple the amount of hours compared to the initial estimation. We would like some advice on how to handle this. We understand that the client is angry because we are over the deadline, but in the same time we are the one who has spent 3 times the amount of hours we estimated plus working both weekends and evenings. They will get the app really late, but also at ~30% of the actual cost.

We are being completely transparent with our client, but now they are really impatient (borderline angry/menacing).

It really sucks to be developing at a loss and only get negativity from the client. Any advice on how we should talk to them?

Issues with CSS and how it displays on my machine ONLY.

Ok so basically the problem is that the CSS on my machine is displaying slightly differently than on different machines.

Now i don't mean cross browsers/cross platforms etc i know how to develop websites and understand this concept.

Im talking about SAME OSX, SAME BROSWER, SAME BROWSER VERSION.

On my machine the buttons show perfectly because I developed them on my machine. How ever on my work colleges machine the buttons look slightly off (more padding on bottom) and other aspects of the site where we use margin and padding etc are like 3/4 pixels out? its so strange....

It all looks fine just slightly out of position by very small amounts but enough to make it look like its wrong...

Its very frustrating and i'm about to do a clean install of OSX but this method to resolve the issue seems a bit drastic.

The issue is also with other browsers and other operating systems.

SEE FOR YOUR SELF :D http://ift.tt/1Pn2EMf

OTHER MACHINES ALL DISPLAY THE SAME (slightly off css) Chrome on windows
Chrome on mac
Firefox windows
firefox mac
etc etc....

MY MACHINE ALL DISPLAYS CORRECTLY AS I WANT IT TO DISPLAY.... Chrome on mac Firefox on mac

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read this and perhaps post a solution.

I don't get it.

Would you recommend putting your degree on Business cards?

Hi there,

I'm a multimedia artist and designer who's capable in a variety of fields including video production, graphic design, and interactive design. I've mentioned a few of these in taglines on my business card. Recently, I just got my Master of Arts and I'm almost out of old business cards so I'm revisiting the design and content of my card to print new ones.

I was wondering if there's any benefit to finding space to mention my MA (and maybe even my BFA) on my Business Card. Considering that I'm listing my attributes already on my card, I'm worried it may be far too busy, design wise. Where do people typically mention it (Like putting MA in bold beside the name)? Is it tacky? What's everyone's thoughts on this?
