While I am starting up my web design business and have a low number of clients I am offering a "pay after 100% happy" guarantee. However I see your points totally about the problems this can have and will not be offering this permanently. Whether offering graphic design or web design the amount of time it takes to talk with your customer and do the job is incredible. To do all this and get no payment at the end is just not acceptable.

Also agree, that you can't design in that factory style and get anything effective or unique out of it, it requires thought and finding out about the business and what they want to communicate, great post Amanda I agree Amanda and Danny, a money back guarantee would just be exploited by those few less honest people.

I don't have any design qualifications, I'm self taught :) Thanks for your comment Danny, I think it takes a different business model to get away with the money back guarantee .. you need to be much more a quick 'shop' type operation where you get them in and out again fast, however I don't feel this is the best way of designing for a business.

It is too much of a risk to offer a money back guarantee - especially when working over the Internet which can be very impersonal. It's far too easy for a client to send you a short email saying they wish for a refund and will not be carrying on with the project - after hours of researching and development of designs.
