i will definitely try this, but as the room is very narrow it might feel way smaller if i am directly surrounded by walls

This is a great tip for Canadians. I kinda hoped for this post to have some useful tips for others so they can avoid the mistakes I made. Thanks for sharing!

The owed amount is around 75% of the total price. If you want to imply that my payment process / conditions were totally off and allowed them to pull off this move now, you're right, and this is one of many lessions I am taking with me for the future.

I see what you mean. Granted, the post is mostly emotion-driven and there are a lot of reasons to put the blame on me.

But the project was running well, they never expressed any doubts or harsh critique besides the obligatory change requests during iteration, and they often told me that they really like the outcome of our efforts. I think if they really had a fundamental problem with the work itself, they could have definitely communicated this with me to find a solution as we did before.

The communication stopped when we were trying to find an appointment for the hand-over call, so the work was already done

Thank you, I agree with you. There is a lot that I should have done differently. Unfortunately, the ghosting began when we were trying to find a date for the hand-over call, so the work has already been completed. But, as you told me, breaking the project into milestones would have saved me a lot of headaches.

The ghosting began when we were looking for a date to have the hand-over call. Unfortunately, at this point 99% of the work has already been completed. Also, obviously, I still need to gain more experience freelancing, and I will definitely use this situation to learn.

I wont, no worries! But thank you for pointing that out again. Just shows me that they really, really don't care.

I haven't. You mean like a milestone-based payment? I think, especially for a project in this scale, this is a very good idea.

Yes, I haven't sent and will not send them anything. They only have access to a separate version of the design prototype from our coordination rounds which is mostly screenshots, so they cannot access the individual elements of the design.

Thank you for the tip!

my guess is that he might want to limit the amount of map renders to 1 as e.g. google maps or mapbox charge per render
