Website Designer Contract Template

Your client was so excited to work with you when you first started-- now you can barely get in touch with them. What gives? 

If you're sick of clients going missing for weeks at a time, only to pop up and immediately need help when you're in the middle of another project, it's time to get this template.

Setting boundaries with clients from the start is essential to a successful website design or development business. The only way to grow is with well-managed clients. When one needy client overtakes your entire day, it only hurts the other clients you have or could have been working with.

Stop this cycle of overwhelm today by getting the contract template that lays down the law (with some sugar on top) and gets serious about your boundaries.

    A load off my shoulders

    It is so helpful to have a contract for my web design clients that was created by someone who is an expert. I have felt vulnerable in the past with DIY contracts from free sites. I feel a lot safer moving forward with the contracts from the Contract Shop. Thank you!

    FANTASTIC #GameChanger

    I was so impressed with this contract and VERY thankful I didn't need to think through all of the legalities for my next web design client. I've been taken advantage of before and this contract has everything you need to stay protected. The content is comprehensive and well labeled. I copy and pasted the verbiage into my Honeybook account, removed sections as necessary (i.e., assigning copyright), and easily sent it off to my most recent web design client (which I landed the day after I purchased this contract!) No more, "oh no...someone wants to work with me...time to piece together a decent contract from free online sources." Keep it professional (and legal)—invest in your business the way clients invest in you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who created these contract templates?

    All of our templates are drafted by Christina Scalera, a licensed attorney. They are also peer-reviewed by at least two licensed attorneys—one based in the US and one based in the country the template will be used in [for example, for all of our Canadian entrepreneurs, we have a Canadian attorney review those templates]. 

    These templates are now in use by over 5,000 creatives. That’s a lot of feedback we’ve been able to process and use to improve our templates!

    What do I have to do after I download my template?

    Each template is delivered immediately in PDF and Word formats for easy use "as is." You'll receive access to your lifetime portal shortly after your purchase, where you can always go back to access the most recent version of the template and learn how to upload your template to any e-signing platform of your choice.

    You'll get plenty of instructions as to how to use your template with your download, and in your Hold My Hand™ guide [available for most contract templates], we'll also show you how to make the most of your contract. Pinky swear, I send my clients proposals in less than 30 seconds, and so can you. 

    Do these contract templates work in my state?

    Getting your contract template reviewed by an attorney in your area is a good idea, but starting with one of our templates will save you a ton of money. After all, having a very well-drafted, peer-reviewed, used-by-many contract is better than nothing.

    Learn more aboutthe validity of our contracts state-by-state

    I live in Canada, Australia, the UK, or outside the United States. Can I use your contract templates?

    Yes! Our contract templates are not dependent on local laws and are applicable no matter where your clients are in the world. Our philosophy is that we want to capture the spirit and mutual understanding of the relationship between the service provider and client in an easy-to-understand, accessible way.

    Therefore, we have international versions of select contract templates for convenience, but not out of necessity. Our Hold My Hand™ guide will walk you through how to adjust for international use.

    What if this contract is not a good fit for my business?

    We get it, sometimes things don't work out. That's why we offer a 14-day no-hassle refund for any reason. You don't have to show us anything. You don't have to prove anything. We'll ask you some simple admin questions to get your refund processed and the funds will be back in your account within 6 business days.

    How can I reach a person to help me?
