You automate that shit, you never give them direct access to the source code, and you obfuscate the code that changes the opacity so that it's really hard to find even if they manage to wrest control away from you. I did this once after the client failed to pay as agreed. They narrowly escaped their site being replaced with a message saying they did not pay their bill, by paying eventually, but I couldn't let them get away with that shit if they decided to change passwords and tried to screw me completely.
33% of payment on project start, 66% of payment on demonstration of final product, 100% payment on hand over.
Worst case you get 66% of your payment. Make sure 66% is enough to make the project profitable.
Clear contracts are also important. Fuck you, pay me.
Yes to all this. Mike Monteiro is a hero of mine
Loved that video back when I was contracting. I paid a lawyer to draft up a standard contract and that was the best thing I ever did. Great value for the $$s. Saved my butt a couple of times.
I like that plan because it ends up paying ~~200%~~
