"Four contracts with four developers, four 50% deposits, and the site still isn't live. <br><br>
Well, something is seriously wrong here."<br><br>Indeed. It does happen that things can go off the rails sometimes (illness, an inexperienced dev shop biting off more than their schedule will allow them to chew, etc..), but 4 developers with the same result? It certainly seems bizarre.<br>
<br>"Superwoman", I'd be very very interested to know where you sourced these developers from. Was it a *lancer type site? Were they all from the same place? Etc..<br><br>Were there any complaints from the developers before they ditched, or did they just fall off the map?<br>

"Fool me once, shame on you.." scenario comes to mind.. after the third time, the client should look inward and figure out what they might be doing wrong. It takes both sides working to make a project successful.<div>
