A Complete Guide to Freelance Web Design Contracts

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).
