Service Agreement
Stop handing over your source files and staging access like a leap of faith, hoping the client won't disappear once they have the keys.
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your contracts that the transfer of all intellectual property rights and final source code is strictly contingent upon the receipt of final payment in full.
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 can I prevent a client from simply inspecting the element and stealing my design during a preview?
An automated digital escrow system serves your work through a secure, restricted viewer that prevents inspection and scraping, only releasing the clean, functional code after the transaction is finalized and verified.
What is the safest way to handle the transition from 'work-in-progress' to 'final delivery' without getting ghosted?
Using a digital escrow platform ensures that the final deliverable release is automated; the client pays the platform, the platform verifies the funds, and the asset unlock happens instantly, removing the window for the client to disappear.
Will using watermarks or escrow systems make me look untrusting to high-ticket clients?
Professional clients respect robust business workflows; using a secure escrow system demonstrates that you have a mature process that protects the integrity of the project and ensures a secure, standardized financial exchange for both parties.
