Contracts Offer Clarity
Why should you sign a contract with your web developer before they begin work on developing your web site? In a world where expectations are often fluid, it’s a simple way to prevent misunderstandings. Contracts protect both you and the developer by stating, succinctly and clearly, what work will be performed.
In his article “Web Design Contracts: Why Bother”, Nick Gould expands upon six items that should be detailed in that contract. Those include:
- an overview of the services that will be provided,
- a process description of those services,
- deliverables,
- ownership,
- pricing
- payment terms
It’s best for both parties if everyone is clear about what is and what is not included in the proposal. If you don’t understand something in the contract - ask!
