Help with contract...

revolver2k

I’ve seen one or two threads before on here of people asking for advice and help about setting up doing WebPages and surprisingly enough people actually did help them which is an unusual trait in an industry, fair play.

So my story, I’ve been doing nixers for a while now just a few mates websites etc, but now a medium sized business has approached me and I’ve showed them my portfolio etc and there very happy with it and with the pricing etc. And now there saying to just drop in the contract, like with the pricing on it and stuff like that. I have no experience with contracts so I was wondering does anyone have any standard web page contracts that they can either email me or post up here

Also does anyone know a good solicitor or anything along that lines that could do up customised web page contracts? Not just standard ones like say they want three updates in that year or something like that. I have heard solicitors charge 300Euro Upward per hour Don’t think I could justify that cost

Thanks

Can't remember the URL but there are a couple of sites out there that have templates that can help cover most potential problems.

Just off the top of my head stuff you should cover is

- The pricing (And method of payment... installments or whatever)
- Overall copyright, intelectual and otherwise

firther to damnyanks post, you also need to stipulate what is covered by the contract - you don't want to spend ages doing out something that you initially thought was a 4 page site.

PM me your email address & I'll send you mine.

Hi,

Maybe checkout this book... http://www.sitepoint.com/books/freelance1/

It's got loads of ready made docs for web design and a neat little contract that you can customise for yourself.

Regards,

I've been a member of sitepoint for 3 or 4 years now. That book isn't great from what I've heard, and it has a nice big price tag (Somewhere around 200 I think)

The good thing about their books is that they come mainly from articles and forum posts on there site (Modified and improved upon usually, but not always). If you search the forums hard enough I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for.
