    My wife designed some ads and logos for them then they stuffed her when she asked for payment.

      My wife is a creative. It’s insane how many people are totally comfortable with stiffing designers

          The best thing you can do is bill by the hour, give a quote and get half of your quote up front. It works for pretty much anywhere customers suddenly disappear after the job is started.
