A freelance contract protects you from client payment delays and scope creep. Never start a design project without a signed agreement outlining deliverables.
Critical Contract Sections
- Scope of Work: Detail the exact number of pages, wireframes, and revisions included.
- Payment Milestones: Divide payments: 30% advance, 40% on design approval, 30% on code deployment.
- Intellectual Property: State when design ownership transfers to the client (typically after final payment).
