I hired someone to create a basic one-page landing page on WordPress, my suggestion was: buy any theme and just change the logo/text/colors. Three months later, they just published a page that only has the hero section and an empty footer...

The problem: there was no deadline imposed and payment was done per month.

Solution: Define a VERY STRICT scope/tasks list and (short) deadline. If the deadline feels too short, reduce the scope instead of extending the deadline.
