Good question. ALWAYS 50% down. Then after the initial development phase, get the next 40%. Finally, right before deployment and migrating from staging to production server get the last 10%. This way it protects you as the freelancer to be paid, keeps the client invested and if the ghost you on the last 10% of the project you still have your $$$.
