Free Web Designer Service Agreement

Scope creep is a slow-motion robbery that drains your bank account while you slave over 'one last tweak' for free. Without a signature, you’re one bad client away from a lawsuit and losing the very laptop you use to eat.

Pro Contractor Tip

Always include a 'Kill Fee' clause to ensure you get paid for every hour worked if the client decides to pull the plug mid-project.

Why use a written agreement?

Handshake deals are risky. As a Web Designer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stop a client from asking for 'just one more thing' every day?

Stop doing favors and start using Change Orders; if it ain't in the initial scope of your contract, they pay a premium for the extra mileage.

What do I do if the client stops responding but the work is half-done?

Kill the power; stop all work immediately and point to your payment schedule in the agreement—never trade your time for a 'maybe' check.

The client hates the design after three rounds of edits, now what?

Your contract should cap the revision rounds; once they hit the limit, every new pixel costs them extra, which usually cures their indecision real fast.
