Website Development Agreement

A website development contract for agencies and freelance developers: pages and features, milestone payments, content responsibilities, ownership of the code and post-launch support.

Protect against scope creep

Website projects grow: one more page, one more integration, one more round of changes. List the pages and features precisely, and keep the change-request clause - every addition then gets a quote before work starts.

Pay by milestone

Tie payments to visible progress: an advance on signing, a payment on design approval, and the balance at launch. Clients see what they're paying for, and you're never far ahead of the money.

Frequently asked questions

Is this contract legally binding?

A contract signed by both parties is generally binding if they agreed to its terms freely. These templates are a well-structured starting point, not legal advice: for high-value or unusual agreements, have a lawyer review the final version.

Who should own the website code?

Clients usually expect to own their website once it's paid for - this template assigns ownership on full payment, while you keep your reusable tools and libraries.
