Being abandoned at the altar of design is nerve-racking. My question to you is this - did you have a letter of agreement or contract with the designer? One of the things you discuss with your designer is a timetable of deadlines. Usually the designer will state: "I will get back to you with a preliminary design in two weeks" and this can be clarified in the contract so that there is no confusion. While timetables are fluid and can be changed - the client and designer should have this hammered out so both will have a clear set of guidelines and no one will feel abandoned. Going forward, you should set down a timetable of goals and have the designer sign off on it. Hi Stylehound:
