Depending on which other web development or design services you provide, you may also need
contracts addressing ASP relationships, web content contributors, web site advertising, web site hosting,
and web site terms of use. Other helpful contracts may include employment contracts and agreements
for subcontractors and independent contractors. And, you may need a template privacy policy for use
on your own or your client’s site.
Many website developers prefer to purchase a web design and development contract template package
that includes all of these documents, allowing unlimited, as-needed use at an affordable package price.
Clear Communication Makes for Happy Clients
Having a legally sound website development agreement, signed by both parties, protects you from
financial and material losses, while helping to ensure clear communication with your client. By setting
clear expectations at the outset of a web development project, you’re much more likely to end up with a
satisfied customer, a good reputation and repeat business.
