Hi

Website development contracts are intensely important. You can relate building your company's website to hiring a contractor to build the physical building that you would have your offices. You wouldn't enter into a contract with a construction company on a smile and a handshake and neither should you enter into a website development contract either. You website could constitute your entire on-line presence and should be considered very important.

In addition this contract should be a unique contract to your business. there are many "form" development contracts that can be found that you may be tempted to use. However since your company is unique and the needs of your company will vary from another you should consult with your attorney and potential website developer to create a unique contract.

Thanks

HI
It's important for web designers and developers to have a contract that protects them from fraud and liability. This is the case for sole proprietors as well as corporations. Liability protection, even for corporations, has many loopholes. For this reason we are providing a web development contract template for those interested. Feel free to use this on your own projects, but keep in mind that we are not guaranteeing its use or protection from liabilities in any way, and will not be held responsible for any damages that incur as a result of use or misuse of this information. Remember, as with any legal matter, always consult an attorney. And this is only a template - you need to adjust it to fit your specific needs and situation.

Thanks
