About this document
This is a very comprehensive website design agreement. It includes almost all you could ever think to negotiate so that you simply delete what you don’t need. It is set out with a view to your negotiating terms with a client. Once agreed, then both sides sign it. It provides for the entire process from meeting client to providing specification of the completed work at the end of the day. It covers graphic design, records, testing and all other areas of your work. No professional can afford to risk the misunderstandings and possible disputes that arise so commonly in this area of work.
Net Lawman also provide the same agreement in the form of terms and conditions for your website design work, that is - take it or leave it; your clients have no choice. It is an abbreviated version of this document and is therefore less comprehensive and also less negotiable. It is designed for sale of standard packages of services, chosen and sold from your website.
Because no business can use both versions at once, if you buy this document, we give you Web site writers terms and conditions: for contractors, absolutely free automatically, so that you can choose which way you want to work.
Both documents are suitable for e-commerce professionals, who want a standard contract or for web site instruction.
