Was the landing page worth $500? Do you feel you spent time waiting and didn't fill that time w/other work as he had 'reserved' it?
I ask because it might be easier on the situation to give back some of it. Explain the value of the landing page and also the value of your time that you set aside and didn't fill w/other projects waiting for him to get his shit together for sure...
... but at the same time I don't think you want an unnecessary fight w/what could still be a good prospective client down the road (you never know where you're going to be in a year or him for that matter).
Simply put: try and be reasonable so as to smoothly send him on his way w/out unnecessarily burning a bridge.

- I don't view him as a good prospective client. I'd spend an unpaid week looking for someone who is actually ready for a project, rather than ...e-wo
