About this document

This document is in the form of terms and conditions for your website design work, that is – take it or leave it; your clients have no choice. Our ‘website design agreement with draft software specification for contractors’ is a very comprehensive website design agreement. 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.
