Does anyone have a contract outline...
How does the payments work, 1/2 down.. 1/2 upon completion?
I need to send out a contract today... I started pushing some corporate work and
I booked a job.. but didn't expect it so soon..

I don't think that there is much of a "standard" here. I've been paid up front, split 50/50 before and after, and been paid upon completion. I think that that 50/50 works best for me and my clients. I generally try to get to really pay directly upon completion rather than submit my invoice to their accounting department and sitting on it for a month.

Congrats on getting the work!
