That's not too bad a ratio, I don't think. I have only had one client who failed to pay me. That being said, I completed 100% of the work for only the original 50% deposit. But he never got a website, either, as I don't make a site live until I am paid in full. I try to rationalize that at least I got 50% for my work. He got 0% for his money!

In fact, out of the last ten people to contact me about design work only one of them paid me. Lately I get more deadbeat clients than good ones.
