@dotdeb was a verbal contract....Since it was probably the only probably the only client we were gonna take, we students hardly get enough time

Don't do that. And hopefully you learned something. Never work without a written contract.

RexOmni5458yAh, been there done that. I can't overstress what heyheni says.
Written contacts that are signed by both you and the client hold up in court. -
Just explain that you did the initial work for free, but more work is chargeable, just like the maintenance, and if she doesn't like it that's fine, and once she finds a new web dev/designer you're happy to hand over all assets to them.
In the end your time isn't free and she needs to respect that. No need to burn a bridge over it but if she doesn't want to pay she can find some other sucker that will do it for free (and then you can warn them of what happened when you hand everything over and tell them to get a written contract).
Verbal contracts - not worth the paper they're written on 👍 -
hell165968yVerbal contracts go both ways dude.... If she isn't obliged to pay you aren't obliged to deliver... Simple as that.
Clients are SUCH FUCKFACES!
So me and 3 friends developed a website and logo for an hr company, run by this woman and she loved it
She was our client for GOMC. Now, since it was a "project" she assumed she didn't had to pay for the whole thing....fine I agreed to just getting maintenance, to maintain goodwill and getting some more clients maybe
One day she wakes up and wants half of the shit altered....NOW, after almost over a month..Fucking bitch
She now wants a fucking RAINBOW colored logo...And she added "it must look professional OK?"...The fuck? Now we have to change the cards, letterheads, UI (entirely). Basically everything and doesn't wanna pay for shit
